Game companies haven't helped themselves though by not using enough robust copy protection mechanisms and finding the best mix of protections and user convenience. The future is a mix of server based gaming and protections based on both the client and server infrastructure as this doesnt affect the user but makes it much harder to crack. http://blog.nalpeiron.com/ Gaming has always been the No.1 target for pirates – way about everything else – due to the obvious audience age group and the money to be made.
