Not really surprised CD's are over. But I'm not really surprised that vinyl is making a comeback either. There's a much warmer sound to it than mp3's, or CD's.

You can get new activations if you just ask. I've had both games since release and only had to re-install once. Plenty of activations left. If/when it ever becomes obsolete they will prob remove the activations and by that time, you will be playing something else. No biggie. Why deprive yourself over high headed snobbishness. You playing a lot of other sims these days..what else is there?!

Doesn't look like it's available on steam yet. Wasn't too happy about DCS A-10 being activated software even though it was sold on steam. I will consider buying this on Steam when it gets there but if it's activated so I have limits on how many times I can install/play then I'll pass.

I don't think Tom Clancy has anything to do with this game. In fact, I don't think his writing has been used for any of the games since the original R6.

Q: Does DCS: A-10C use copy protection?
A: Yes, it uses the new user-friendly ProActive AAA Technology.
You will no longer have a fixed number of activations, but in an effort to prevent piracy the system does limit the number of activations per month. Your DCS A-10C serial number is initially set to 8 activations and when they all are spent, 1 activation is added automatically once per 31 days (effectively "refilling" your serial number).
ProActive AAA Technology does not install any drivers on your PC. It works as an integrated part of the DCS files but has no special privileges in your system.

What if starforce shuts down, or becomes uncontactable? Can we rely on a historically dodgy bunch of dickheads to give us an unlock forever patch to their DRM?

The activations regenerate, dude.

I stand by my original statement... the thing was completely USELESS at launch, due to lack of software.

Desktop Publishing eventually became Mac's "killer app"... initially they were just as useless as a Lisa... except cost a lot less.

The initial Mac was an expensive, useless, black and white, paperweight. Why the hell would anyone go from a color computer that had thousands of software packages to a black and white computer that had like 5. For a mouse interface?

The big reason that Windows 3.x was so successful (over the Mac) was you could still run all of your DOS programs, which meant you still had thousands of software packages to choose from... AND you got to use a mouse... AND you didn't really need to buy a new computer (If you had a 386 or better).

Parallel Win7 install on a 100GB partition, then disabled all other drives/partitions. works fine. Origin doesn't seem that bad but I don't trust EA very much anyway.
