Every popular video games out there have been cracked. Dragon Age is no exception. They could pull a Richard move and make everything required online connection like Blizzard.
Relax guys..... Like I said in an earlier post, Bioware did such a "great" job that even pirates will most likely avoid wasting HD space installing this "glorious" game into their systems. I do have to give props to Bioware though. They may actually manage to deter piracy with this one game though not because of their DRM but rather because of how utterly mediocre the game turned out.
Way to go BW.....
Edit: lol rly? C-r-a-c-k-e-r is filtered? Is this for real?
It is often used as a derogatory term for white people, I suppose that is why it is filtered. Still kind of dumb though. 
How exactly does piracy hurt paying customers? Are you mad that pirates are getting things for free that you paid for? Do you think piracy causes 'lost sales' and hurts the profit margins of developers? What is the tangible harm that piracy is causing you?
It is? Must be an American thing.
I always thought it was a term for people who illegally decrypt software...
Blame George Jefferson. He's the first person I ever heard use that term.
what exactly bioware is supposed to do, no matter what they do hackers will always find a way to crack the protection, the only way bioware could get around it is to make single player have to have constant online connection which doesn't make sense for the single player mode.
The way DA:I has been released I wouldn't play it for free, so I see no reason to risk adding viruses and trojans by downloading an illegal version.
I wouldn't worry too much. The game is so mediocre possibly not even the pirates will want to waste 20+ gigs of HDD space installing this into their systems.
Says the guy who is still hanging around the forums of a mediocre game.
You mean that BW actually bothered with some form of DRM for Inquisition? Seems like a waste of resources to me.
provide a good game, people will buy the game. crappy game will make people play pirate
Says the guy who is still hanging around the forums of a mediocre game.
Yeah, I guess I do feel entitled to vent and rant, after having blown 80plus dollars on the xbox360 version only to deal with an ugly looking, buggy, near-unplayable mess of a game. Or maybe I should have bought it for PC because Bioware assured us it was the "leading development platform" and so this version would actually be a decent, playable game, right??? Oh wait..... 
"You're forcing" - Really? Bioware put a gun to their head and made them buy a game? No option to just choose not to buy it (or pirate it either) if they weren't willing? That's kind of shocking and I think should be investigated.
No, nobody was forced to do anything. They made a choice as a consumer. Let's not get all dramatic here and pretend they were forced to do anything.
Yea thats why EA - Bioware gives pre-release demos to game reviewers
1. i dont like the multiplayer mode (at this moment) have this weird issues, until issues are fix i will stay away from it for now
2. "Yea it did affect me" the cost of the game is relevant to the cost of producing the game including the cost relative in making and putting a DRM in it, so technically i also paid for a working "uncrackable" DRM and this is what i get? Cracked just in 4 months?
3. oh and yea they are also eyeing to hack some paid privileges like the The DragonAge Keep and multiplayer options..its like telling us "**** buying the game we hackers can pirate it with full content anyways." WHICH will LEAD to UNRELEASED Future DLC's
It is? Must be an American thing.
I always thought it was a term for people who illegally decrypt software...
America is a pretty strange place to live in.... To this day I still do not understand why it is such a derogatory word to use against white people... Hell I'm white and if anyone calls me that word I don't get offended... In fact I would be rather confused since I am a human, and not a bread that has been toasted up

IMO I do not believe piracy is hurting the profit margins of the developers.... unless if the pirate has full intentions of downloading the software, and then trying to sell off copies at a much cheaper price in the blackmarket. In that respects that pirate is hurting the developers with lost of sales, and hurting the profit margins. A pirate who downloads the software for personal use may later on purchase a legit full version of the game at a reduce price.

Uh Bioware could play a nasty prank to the pirates that pirated their games.

a hacker group announced they already crack Denuvo and its a matter of time when they release the pirated DA:inquisition
it will be unfair for gamers who actually buy games if this comes out...BIOWARE DO SOMETHING!
You do realize that the evidence to suggest that pirates cause economic harm is shaky at best, right? Or at worst, you could use the term "complete and utter bollocks".
Just to cite a source for my assertion that piracy doesn't hurt:
Digital piracy not harming entertainment industries: study
http://www.cbc.ca/ne...study-1.1894729
This is good news...
Any and all DRM should be cracked and rendered pointless because that is what DRMs are in the first place...pointless...
The notion that if we just installed DRM, we can solve the issue of piracy is a foolish one. DRM has no correlation with sales volumes.
People who pirate video games are for the most part, are:- Broke and poor gamers from other nations with high currency exchange, people in countries where the game is banned, people who are looking to test the game out first.
Adding DRM is not going to make the poor gamers change their ways, it is not going to make the game magically available in places where it is banned and it is not going to stop gamers who want to pirate the game for the purposes of demoing it before committing themselves to buying the full product.
The notion that it can is just a notion that is derived from fwweewingzz
DRM is just there to inconvenience customers who spend money to buy the game. That is the main thing it does.
Don't believe me ? Look at Witcher series. If we want to be fair, we shall all observe Witcher 3 when it comes out. I bet you anything that the game will do well and will sell well even though it has no DRM.
Then we shall see what EAWare or Ubifail has to say about DRM and its so-called capability to "prevent piracy and boost sales".
You do realize that the evidence to suggest that pirates cause economic harm is shaky at best, right? Or at worst, you could use the term "complete and utter bollocks".
Yeah because taking something for free that normally one would pay for isn't harmful in any way.
... are you kidding me?

Bioware can put a Huge undefeatable High dragon flying Skyhold killing every inhabitants including the pirated inquisitor if they detect its pirated, They may call the Dragon ZanoVavitch

they just could use existing code:
make all characters look like they have broken arms, not only male elves... or better yet, change your pc's sex and lock you out of romances, even LGBT ones!

Or at the beginning Leliana will not interfere and let cassandra kill the main character then a message will say "your journey has ended pirate"...ill imagine the look at their faces...priceless
Bioware can put a Huge undefeatable High dragon flying Skyhold killing every inhabitants including the pirated inquisitor if they detect its pirated, They may call the Dragon ZanoVavitch
Or Bioware can restrict the sex of the inquisitor to female. Once the game starts have a horde of immortal darkspawn come after the the player, and once the players get defeated theirs a scene where the darkspawn forces you to eat the flesh off of the tainted darkspawn, and then watches as the pirate's charecter turn into a broodmother... then a bunch of Immortal Grey wardens arrives to kill the broodmother inquisitor.
Game over.
