On Take On Helicopters DRM; Demo Plans

A post on the Bohemia Interactive Forums asks for help with a problem causing a watery image degradation in Take On Helicopters, Bohemia's new flight simulator. As it turns out this can be the result of using a pirated edition of the game, as Bohemia explains this comes from their "unique anti-piracy countermeasures," also noting a demo for the game is in the works. Here's word:
Bohemia Interactive deploys various antipiracy countermeasures in its titles and Take On Helicopters is no exception, some users have reported morphed/watery image degradation (see http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=126991 ). The original version of Take On Helicopters does not suffer from this degradation of visual quality. Piracy is a big problem for Bohemia Interactive, as an independent PC developer, and we're trying to focus our support as much as possible towards users of legitimate copies. Counterfeit copies of our games may degrade and, moral aspects aside, we certainly recommend only playing the original version. We have a free public demo version of Take On Helicopters in the development pipeline for those that prefer to test it before buying.

If anyone who call himself a PC gamer doesnt know Bohemia, then they should go right back to their console and leave the PC for troll posts... Uh... yeah.
I'm sorry but titles like ArmA really aren't mainstream, just like GSC Game World. They may produce great games but it wouldn't even surprise me for a second if many to most avid PC gamers hadn't heard of either company - in both cases the games are better known than the developer.

Games are always better known than the developer. Most dont know what DICE is. But they know what BF3 is.
As I said, I am talking about PC gamers. PC gamers even know Bullfrog, Westwood, Dynamix, Sierra, Origin, etc, etc, incl. Bohemia. OFP after all sold far over 1 million copies (last I read its over 2 million now). Crysis did too. Thats not mainstream?
Ohkay...
I have given up on waiting for BIS to come back to their senses and do a real ArmA 2 successor.
