[quote name='Proletariat Beowulf']To bad nearly all their stuff will infect you with StarForce. No game is so fun as to warrant destroying your box.[/QUOTE]
StarForce? Are you stuck in a timewarp back in 2006? Hardly anyone uses StarForce anymore (no major publishers that I know of still use it). Ubi hasn't used it in years.
Maybe you're thinking of SecuROM?
[quote name='tightclaws']Maybe its your box? I see you are talking about UBI soft using it, well I hate to tell they don't use it on Steam. Steam by its nature is its own copy protection, does not need StarForce or any other CD copy protection[/QUOTE]
Actually, games sold on Steam can use additional third-party copy protection, in addition to the inherant copy protection in Steam itself. There are quite a few games on Steam that use SecuROM, with the machine install limits and all. Crysis, Age of Booty, etc, etc.
