Please, I'm a 47 year old man. I understand the need to protect one's property.
You're missing the point, which is that, I've already purchased the right to use it.
I'm not being paranoid, I just don't like obtrusiveness, especially when a/ I've
already purchased the product b/ It says one thing, does another -- with NO
explanation, I might add. I'm reasonably sure, that the producer is testing the
waters, so to speak. So, I'm going to let them know how I feel, and vote with
my pocket book by returning it. I'm sure any thinking person, wouldn't like the
way this works.
Like I said, bush league. BTW, it's NOT porn, it's an action game, that I
purchased. It wasn't cheap either, being that I purchased it, as soon as it was
released. It's the first time I've seen this on a game manual, as I tend to
play them regularly.
I suspect you probably have a vested interest in DRM. Is this so? Doesn't
matter, just thought I'd ask. Being a programmer, I don't think I'm being overly
paranoid or upset with the way this was implemented.
Anyway, enough. I'm already decided what I'm going to do. :)
