Hi, Wow! That is simply draconian anti-piracy measures. Besides being very expensive some users like myself would simply not pay for games that used that method of anti-piracy. As John mentioned the other day he doesn't like the Jaws dongle for the fact it can be easily lost. In my own case I am currently sitting in a living room with three tottlers ages 2 to 4 years old. Anyone of them could pick up said thumb drive with said game on it and give it an unexpected swim in the toilet or place it somewhere else were it will never be found again. Believe me I have discovered many things that have suddenly grown a couple of tottler legs and mysteriously walked off somewhere. Grin. Anyway, the point is what happens if that thumb drive with the game on it gets lost, damaged, or needs replacing for some reason or another. The cost of the hardware and shipping alone requires more than the game might be worth to replace it. Especially, if it needs to be shipped internationally.
