Hi, One thing to keep in mind is that crackers have a mind set if they can't crack it they don't want it sort of attitude. So Either way you look at it you are not going to get that sale weather you have great security or poor security. The only major diference is that poor security makes it easier for non-crackers to get free copies of a game. Which sadly I have spoken to my share of blind gamers who feel they are entitled to free copies of games because they can't afford it. One final note, a developer must always keep in mind there is no such thing as 100% security on any product. Anything that man can create another man with some determination can crack. That is the truth, and has happened time and time and time again. In the end the customers should be held in higher value than the jerks, crackers, and low lifes cracking software. I just recently finished a book called "The Art Of Intrusion." All of the cracker cases in the book ar true, and you wouldn't believe the depths some of these low lifes will go to in order to break into banks, government files, the white house main frame, and even crack the Vagus slot machines for the fun of it. Terrifying indeed, but it happens every day 24/7.
