Re: [Audyssey] thoughts on game keys - Re: Urgent! pyracy issueforShades of doom
Damon, keep a record of the email address and you shouldn't have a problem like that. If you want and this goes for any dev, if you want me to check your game for basic easy crack proofing, I'm happy to do that. Stuff like compressing sounds in known archive formats, or putting gamename-demo and gamename-full on the same site and it being easy to find etc. Oh and not hiding your testing directory on the site to.

Re: [Audyssey] thoughts on game keys - Re: Urgent! pyracy issueforShades of doom
For anyone who thinks it's too much trouble, or that it's difficult, to prevent having to get another authorization key for games: Making a backup copy of your game key is simple. Got a brailler and some paper? Slate and stylus? How about a tape recorder and a blank tape? A CD that you can put the game executable file and a .txt copy of the game key onto? Really. It's not that hard, and it's your responsibility, gamers, not the developers. From what I've seen, the cost of a replacement key for games isn't all that much, but shouldn't we, as the purchaser, keep the key we paid for when we bought the game? I think so. I did not back my game keys up, suffered a hard drive crash, couldn't recover the info, and had to pay for replacement keys to some of my games. I did not complain, because I knew who was at fault. Now, I've got 2 sheets of braille paper with keys on them, and I add a key to the bottom when I get one. -- If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words. - Original Message - From: "Chris Payne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 12:07 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] thoughts on game keys - Re: Urgent! pyracy issueforShades of doom I don't respond to many of these issues,but just to let you know a replacement key for my sons car, was going to cost in the region of £100, just so I would not have to wait around in the rain after work.

Re: [Audyssey] thoughts on game keys - Re: Urgent! pyracy issueforShades of doom
how about having a website data base to register on? then you download the game. once you installed the game? there should be a registration data base the gamer connect to, and then he put in his info. and every time he start this game. a check for the information would go to the site, something like a computer hand shake. that's more something like it. there is one more thing though. laptop users on the go. with me on the go is cool, I have wireless which is a little device you plug into the u s b port. anyway, that's just a thought. think about it.
