THat last thread was right on topic.
if a player buys a game, Sim City 4, for example, and it doesn't work
right because E.A. servers screw off and take a coffee break, then the
player is ticked, and an internet meme begins.
It's a good point, though, that you don't have to stop everybody from

Obviously, games which have nearly all of the content hosted only on
the server, such as muds, are much more piracy proof, but there are a
lot of shades of grey in between fully server side and fully client
side. Yes, there will always be ways to hack game executables, but
some are a lot
Hi Dennis,
Thanks for taking the time to explain that further. I found it very
enlightening.
I guess there are ways I had not thought about to further secure a
client side game.
Much appreciated,

Hi guys,
I am incredibly curious.
JHow does an audio game developer discover how many people have pirated
their game? I mean, 90% is huge

Hi Charles,
Well, if a developer wants to prosecute a software pirate to the full
extent of the law all they have to do is report it to their local
prosecutor and report it as a theft. According to the 1997 No
Electronic Theft Act a convicted software pirate can receive five

There have been a number of developers who have tracked piracy rates
in various ways, and the numbers I have are more from the mainstream
and sighted indy game scene. It's not that everyone is an elite
hacker, it's more that one or two elite hackers can produce a download

Hi Dennis,
You said: This is why I won't bother to produce any standalone games

intend to give them away. Anyone who thinks they can sell standalone
games without strong 'phone home' server authorization and make money
is fooling themselves.
I say: Very interesting comment.
