I know some of you will already know about this and others it won't effect in the slightest. However, for your information.

What is Starforce? (http://www.glop.org/starforce/)

Ha! I can't see Starforce surviving for long with the amount of negative attention it has been receiving. Will be interesting to see what happens. The unfortunate thing is that there are a few games on the list that I want to play and own!

Syberia II (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/syberia2/index.html?q=syberia%20II)
Sudeki (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/sudeki/index.html?q=Sudeki)

and I quite fancy Spellforce 2 (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/spellforceiiblendofperfection/index.html?q=spellforce%202)

What to do?

Grin and weather it I suppose.

I did when I was dabbling with X3... fortunately the Starforce thing didn't do much to my PC. Was a bit of an effort to remove it though.

I was going to quote parts of Will Wrights artical but thought better of it. I'm not sure about you but I think he really nails it on the head why we enjoy games so much. We really are going to be in for a treat when Spore comes out. :D

To quote The BMan:

StarForce goes completely fucking insane. (http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/drm/starforce-reboots-your-pc-without-warning-dont-like-it-youre-mafioso-161893.php)

Oh my word!!! :o

That's both scary as hell and damn funny. Well, looks like I'm not buying anything with Starforce anymore.

On the otherhand, a bit of good news for me. Turns out that the DVD collection of Syberia 1+2 I have DOESN'T have Starforce on it!

Whooohooo!

Yeah, got my pimp cane bitch. :D
