Linux Introducing Game Copy Protection

After seven years, Linux Game Publishing is resorting to adding copy protection into its Linux-ported games. Starting with the latest port, Sacred: Gold, gamers will have to enter a valid key and password via the Internet to launch LGP games.
There’s a detailed article on just how the new copy protection will work up on phoronix. The author speculates as do I that this too shall be quickly cracked by pirates and will ultimately end up being a nuisance only to gamers that pay for the games to begin with.
Who uses Linux for gaming? Seriously? Is it any good?
Go Marlins!!!!
Well, at least it’s better than having a limited number of activations and no activation revoke tool.

You got that right
Linux on gaming does not suck. Linux performs much better than Windows. It’s just that there are very few games being released for Linux.

Pull you head out from under that rock. Even before Linux Distros, Windows has never been the best OS. Well, the best at getting viruses, spyware, crashing, and running slow.
