Wired.com- If You Want To Fight Piracy, Make Better Games. Thanks nin.
Ubisoft’s plan isn’t working. Even after taking these drastic steps, the company says that 90 percent of the people who play its games are playing them illegally, according to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter.

But how many people only used piracy as a way to bypass the DRM? How many of those pirates might have purchased PC copies of games like Assassin’s Creed II if they could be played without an internet connection?

Ya, missed CoD in the name...sorry! Indeed, I still play IL2 '46; best WW2 sim to date despite a lacklustre campaign mode. I know at least one patch came out for Il2CoD, but from what my bud tells me frame rates are still horrid. He also says he never sees anyone playing on line. For biplanes I'm into Rise of Flight. They've added a career mode that I'm checking out. Georgeous sim but needs lots-o-powah for max settings. Thing is, you can turn it down a bit and get silky smooth performance, even over cities, in dogfights, etc, which apparently isn't possible in CoD.
