Senteria: Yeah i'm an ex-pirate. Yar. I think the company deserves every credit. <3
Oh, quit bragging/join the club :P
archaven: [...]But i've seen pirates that love a game to death but never pay a single penny. Excuses are mainly no money.
Actually that's a pretty good excuse, not for pirating but for not buying a game. If you can't afford it then you probably should be focusing on financial aspects of your life more anyway... but I'm in no position to judge. Of course if you can afford it and truly love a game you should support it/it's developers.
Contempt: Yes and no, as I don't intend on using the feature at the moment not being able to register is not a big problem for me. But, it is still a feature that I am being denied, should I choose to use it in the future - and therein lies the problem, I AM being prohibited for using something that I should have the right to use, as a paying customer.
Hmm, I think in the past I would've thought that if something doesn't affect you in the present, you shouldn't waste time complaining/arguing about it. But now, my point of view has changed; if everybody just stayed silent because things didn't affect them directly, a lot of wrongs wouldn't be mended.
So, out of principle, I have to agree that while a cd-key is required to obtain certain services related to the game - a cd-key should be provided.
