Yes, cuz gamers from the 3rd world are pirates!
Report or not report: that is the question 
.
I was actually thinking about getting a collector's edition of DAI for my PC, but apparently they are US only 
.
Just had a reality check.

Well, there is more truth in what I said than "PC gamers are pirates."

Can you even pirate anything in an "always on-line era"?
BTW, there was a gent from Australia on these forums who was actually very vocal about PC gamers being pirates (He said that everyone should buy a console, disregarding the argument that not all places in the world has X-box live or PSN available to connect). People these days…

Sure you can. Coders simply crack the game and turn off the switch that checks for online validation. Usually it is done for every major game within a week of release - sometimes earlier if a game is leaked online early.
Thing is, these groups will always find some way to play games (or any other software product) for free. The challenge of the industry shouldn't be trying to find new ways to stop this from happening, but rather ways to use the power of onlne systems and the nearly unlimited features it brings to make players want to use them, while also giving players the ability to avoid the online features/functions altogether. This doesn't force anyone to do anything they find painful, but still useful and enjoyable to players that "legitimate" copies offer the best product.

Yes I should. I don't know where to even begin with this comment. It seems you and thread started have lived enviable lives if you actually see getting older as a problem.
And you must have lived an enviable life if you think this is something to get annoyed over.

I have been doing that since I was 12 and my mind was 82.
So yes.
In about ten years you'll be brain dead dude, try to moisturise that puppy, maybe dust it off and peel back another ten

No offence, but this thread is the definition of first world problems. I actually thought you had a real issue when I read the title.
Does the dude need to have his family slaughtered at a poker game and have his dog burnt alive by some blonde working class English dude called Dio for him to meet your criteria? xD

Reverse engineering. One of my favorite fields. Computers execute and run programs by translating programming code into instructions that are understandable by the machine. These machines are based on commands that performs some operation on the hardware. These programs are loaded from an external to the RAM. This means I could potentially walk step by step through the code stored in the RAM. Theoretically if I copy the same code and rerun it, it should give me the same results(environmental variables not included). This is essential for people that pirate the games. These people can get to the code(and if you can get to the code then it is customization) and they can remove certain aspects and republish the software. It is a really interesting field. What is more interesting are the steps taken to counter this type of intrusion.
