We do not play these games without outside influences, there are graphics cards, CPU speeds and numbers, neither of which are part of the game engine. If the choice of protection prevents some potential buyers from playing it, that's the developer or publisher's choice, and a loss for both of them.

No its logical, and how am i wrong about it ? Please explain.

Simply, a reason is true, and an excuse is false. There can be no such thing as a logical excuse.

To me its rather clear that you'll be upset if you don't have a broadband connection. And of course i personally feel sorry for the people that can't play the game, but speaking for myself i'd never go as far as don't play the game just to help others state the fact that they didn't like the copy protection choice. (I still want the game even if it has starforce i don't care.. never bothered me)

I'd be a little upset, but not enough that I'd pay twice what is currently paid.

Whining? o_O

Your post talked about people whining. I was responding to that.

Totally understandable that some people don't like to pay online. But i suppose the risk of getting ripped on money is just as rare as with putting your card into the cash dispenser these days with all the technical equipment. As long as you pay to companies like valve/steam you're totally on the safe side, it's all about common sense.

I'm not so sure.

If you think Rise of Flight is a bad game because of it's copy protection I've nothing more to apply... seriously it's like saying the Car drives and feels bad just because the door lock isn't automatic and i won't buy it therefor.

There was a time, in the 1970s I think, when there were said to be four different keys to all the Ford cars in Britain, presumably some people didn't buy them because they didn't want their car stolen.

Ye but i was talking about the boxed version which will be available in numerous countries , didn't you read the recent interview... It will be available in both digital and hard copy form.

"2. Other than a downloadable version of the game, will non-Russians be able to buy a boxed version of the game? Any chance at a "collector's edition" of the game?

Our main target is to reach every interested user and to make «Rise of Flight» available for everyone. That's why we are taking every possible option (Russian and foreign publishers) in order to deliver our product to our customers in a hard and digital copy. Collector's edition will not be available outside Russian market. After master-disk release we will publish on our blog the list of counties where the game in a box set will be available."

I did read that, I probably forgot it, but a list of countries where the box will be available could be short or long, and if it's immediately available online that would presumably be first, though perhaps not by so much as I thought.

Good for you, i wouldn't miss out on such a great gaming experience just because of something like that which has nothing to do with how the game plays.

You're loss mate.

Requiring a network connection to log in every time you start it is part of how the game plays.

Developers care more than ever about copy protection and piracy these days. It's evolved beyond control and they've every right to protect their product by any means they feel is necessary.

It's their right to do that, it's my right if I don't like it for whatever reason strikes my fancy, not to buy it. I would not suggest that anyone had any right to pirate it, but so long as you don't do that, you've every right not to buy it if you don't want to.
