    This scheme is not DRM really, since you can still play it is more of a joke on pirates.

    I think you are a kid, don't worry one day you will grow up and have money to buy those games you are now pirating.

    Sure they would. Most people don't play any game even pirated all the way to the end. So long as you make the bad stuff happen more than an hour or two in you will get lots of positive votes. Lots of people who pirate are just digital hoarders and never use most of what they collect.

    Exactly like that. If you are going to delete saves, delete all of them. I would not be above suggesting encrypting all the saves for the game and offering to unlock them for the cost of the game new.

    Pirate Congrats on making to the final boss, all your saves have been encrypted. To get the key you must go buy a copy of this game and enter its activation code into our website.

    Sure, which is why what he needs to do is get a pirate version he made on those sites. Keep uploading it with slightly different names and sizes. Make it corrupt saves after X time, or crash to the desktop or if the user is running as admin uninstall itself. Nothing malicious to the machine in general just really annoying. Hell, just have the sounds randomly change to "STOP pirating my games, I need the money to eat". Stuff like that would be way better.

  12. Re:A little Pyrrhic there. on Would You Tell People How To Crack Your Software? · · Score: 1

    A better idea would be to put it on pirate sites yourself. Just after X playtime break the game. Make sure your version and the real hacked one are the same size and name it something silly like GAMEZ RAZR 1912 H4)(0R cracked.

    A great idea might be to corrupt save games after some point. Let them get halfway into it then corrupt all save games. Make sure your support team knows you are doing this and corrupt all the files in some very obvious way like changing them text files about the harm piracy does to gaming.

    Kerosene and LOX are not that expensive. There are a lot of other costs than fuel. Getting out of the atmosphere is easy and relatively cheap, getting up to orbital speed is a whole other ballgame.

    I think a lot of this space plane stuff in the minds of civilians misses that last point. When you don't understand what is really happening you might well assume just getting high up is enough.

    Turns out though it is fine for suborbital space flight, which is great for tourists.

    Better to make something you can sell than something that there is no market for.

    What Nokia should have done was stayed the course with the N900 and beyond. They could have made that work, it should not have been hard to even support Android apks and its third party markets like the Amazon app store. Instead they got in bed with MS and ended up with a fatal disease.

    What is wrong with Ethiopia vs other nations with similar GDPs? Ethiopia is quite different than Somalia in level of security and having a stuff like roads. It sounds like you seem to think the objection is the third world nations in general.

    When someone brings up Somalia they are pointing out a well known failure of a government and the resulting failed state that it caused. You seem to be under the impression that this is not the natural outcome.

    Valid, but I wish quotes would work correctly.

    I don't think I have tried that. I just wish it did not strip things inside of quoted strings. If I wanted it to strip them I would not have put it in a quoted string. I might be remembering something that never existed or combining attributes of search engines here.
