Sooner or later devs (or the suits more likely) will realize DRM does nothing to stop pirating, all it does is ****** off your paying customer base. A recent example of this is Starcraft 2, Blizzard spent tens of thousands of dollars in man hours restricting LAN playing and locking the game to only be installable on the 27th when it's released. That torrent was up for two days before it got cracked, All that money and time would have been much better spent actually going into the game.

Tell that to the people that want to buy Ubisoft games.

Do UbiSoft actually publish anything decent anymore?

I really wanted to try the latest Silent Hunter game (so I can shout "AAAALAAAARM!!!" while playing  ), but, alas...

The only copy protection that seems to work is an online component which requires a unique cd key, e.g. MMOs or games that focus on internet matches. If Bioware wants to protect DA2 they should think about adding some online functionality that people would miss in a pirated version. As already stated DRM doesn't work at all, I don't understand why developers even bother.

They often don't - it's the publisher who enforces it, not the developer.

yup. if there's a will...there's a way.

and while I guess I could go out and buy a copy THEN crack it...I'd rather not, as that kinda feels like going against the whole point of buying the game in the first place, yes? 

as was stated by some: put more stuff (freebies or whatnot) in your packaging: entice folks to buy the game not just for the game itself (of course, the game still HAS to be GOOD lol), but also for the extra stuff (added value and what not...I think they teach that in marketing  ). 

the money spent on trying to prevent piracy could be better spent on improving the product and/or marketing it. 

That and I want more 'freebies' in my game boxes.

This discussion has more to do with DRM in general than DA2 at this point. Finita la musica.
