Piracy group nearly gives up on cracking Just Cause 3, warns of bleak future

Not that I care all that much about DRM. This kind of thing will only affect AAA titles from big publishers and I can't be arsed with most of those anyway.



It's not that far-fetched when you consider that until very recently many publishers enforced limited activations on their customers, which you could permanently lose if you formatted your PC without first revoking the activation for the game on your PC. I remember having to fight with support to get them to add more activations to my copy of Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. The initially insisted that I should buy a new copy of the game.

Exactly why I see a problem, it just opens up to many problems and if they limit it to one install the system will flop within a week. If a patch doesn't work then you need to re-install sometimes to resolve the problem but then you'll need a support ticket for the re-install. I can't see a large publisher agreeing to the logistics like that for a AAA game.
