Ouch...
I hate to see copy protection come to this on the PC, but maybe they should start selling games with TPM usb sticks or something as you need some sort of security on the hardware side.
I'm sure that would [pee] off a lot of folks also, but at least the game would be yours... |

| Addon hardware wouldn't necessarily help as you can monitor the data coming in and going out of it. Plus anything of reasonable security would be complicated and unlikely to be cheap. Games return low profit already on a single sale basis so you'd basically be killing the profit by including anything like that. |

-$10? So it's gone down from $40 to $40?
It may have been expected to launch at $50, but it didn't, therefore it isn't -$10 from anything except a made up figure. |

... and it was. You had a -$10 pre-order discount, though. |
