Right. Yes if the devs make it to difficult for people to use their product then they just won't bother in the end. I've avoided certain titles for that reason. As good as lw and tank commander are, it's a pain to put either game on more than 1 system or if there's an issue with 1 of my pc's and it needs formatting and reinstalling then yeah it does become a problem and you just don't bother. So now when any of these blind friendly games come out I tend to look at their methods of registering the game. If I think it's going to be too much of a hastle then I simply don't bother because I don't see why I should have to keep asking and asking for such and such keys all the time, quite frankly I have better things to do than that.

I don't mind if I had another system but will have to choose what I register on it. the bsc and gma game replacements are free for the most part unless you go over the bsc limit of 4 keys a year. Vipgameszone hmmm will have to leave that one out. same with railracer, I don't want to pay for another system just so I can play the game on it. I think if I had to do this I may just have to either scrap the entire game or something. luckily these are not played often. there is missippy ofcause and I have no idea if I can register it on another system or if I need to request a key. I suppose if I copy the product id out of my system and use it I could but really don't know about that. mostly though I think I'd be ok previded that I could get the devs. Hmmm I now wander if I can transfer keys, that is if I have a dead system if I tell the dev maybe I can transfer my licence somehow. I have a dead system, here that had all my keys on it. therefore if I could invalidate the keys that were dead I'd have spares for say another system or something.
