Destroy your
PC and receive $1000 from StarForce (thanks Andrew) is an offer from the
copy-protection maker in an effort to combat what they feel may be unfounded
rumors about their software:
There have been a lot of rumors in the Internet concerning DVD/CD writers malfunction after installation and star-up of StarForce protected applications. Some have even mentioned that should such “malfunctioning” drive be placed in any other PC without StarForce protection installed it will fail to work as well.
...
After the installation and start-up of StarForce protected product the problem with (CD/DVD read-write malfunction) must exist and be reproduced in any other configuration.
If you can be the first to reproduce this situation in our office, we will be happy to award you with $1000.00 US, cover your trip to Moscow and pay 2 days’ lodging.
Wow you must not be in the same scene thats been releasing 99% (note: statistics pulled out of my ass just like yours) of new games... with "this StarForce program". They've made playing pirated software more annoying, sure, they also made playing legit software more annoying.
I guess the people writing CP software can finally get jobs that people wont hate them for, like telemarketing or ringtone creators.
No copy protection is going to "save" PC gaming, making GOOD GAMES would save PC gaming, wheres the last release that was good and low on bugs that failed because of piracy? where??? with the billions of dollars britney spears lost in sales cause a 12 year old girl downloaded her single, and maybe even the WMDs?
