Whew... nothing I currently play (or want to play) is on that list.
 (Hopefully this will stay that way...)

Starforce = great evil spawned from a lesser evil.
I really wanted to buy Beyond Divinity, since Divine Divinity is so cool, but I decided against it-only because it uses Starfarce.

"For a complete list of our issues with Starforce, please see this page."
Yet there is no info anywhere on the site about the actual issues. I have a hard time boycotting a product without any verifiable information as to why.

Many of the problems (on the gaming forums) have stemmed from DVDroms not working once starforce is installed. |

It's good thing that I don't play game.

Doom3 wouldn't run because I had alcohol 120% installed on the machine. That's not right either.

This is just one more thing that really makes me look forward to the next generation of consoles.

Try reading my post a little closer, LK. That site says I should boycott starforce because it causes so many issues, but doesn't say what those issues are. I prefer to make educated decisions about such things. Quote:
Thanks, Nija, that's more informative than the enitre boycottstarforce site. |
