"Starforce will be in it. It prevents for too many manipulation of the exe, the datas, creating cracks for our other games and in some way limit cheating. I know it is not really cool, but so far, it is the best we have to do all this. Be sure it will not cause problem to your CD drive. By the way, I discuss a lot with the french community in the french forum of TM (7000 members) and I never heard of such a problem. Again, if we can do better, while being human, we would do it. "

So there you go...however if you can prove harm to your hardware you can win $10,000 http://www.star-force.com/protection.phtml?c=261&id=707.

I personally want to play the game more than worry about the game protection.

heh that sux for you. I never had any problems with games that I bought that has those protection. I find it odd that people have have those problems with star force and etc.

I still see it fishy, I played many games that had them and none of them messed up my computer at all.
