Yes there is a rampant problem in software copying, but it's been a big problem for years. It has increased due to the internet in general and you will still find sites hosting copies of stuff. It used to be smaller scale (ie someone buying a game and copying it for their 6 friends), but now can be burning an ISO and putting the ISO in their PSP folder.  You ALSO have the problem that, increasingly, there is less interest in PC titles and more interest in console titles. For years PCs were the definitive take on beauty in gaming, but these days there are plenty of games that look just fine on PS2 or XBOX (or even the less popular Cube). These same games are ALWAYS better looking on the PC (witness KOTOR and GTA:VC for good recent examples as well as Halo), but not so much that most folks will buy a very expensive computer vs a $200 or less console.  The mounting interest in and sheer power of consoles has, IMO, done mroe to the PC gaming industry than piracy in the last 2 years, but piracy is also pretty bad for them. Somehow tho, companies still put out games with none or very minor piracy protection. There's always someone who will crack teh protection pretty quickly, but many still ship where you can just do a straight up disc copy and have something that will run. edit:More importantly for why you se nothing about them on their website anymore...they gave up the rights to the D&D license which means they have no more right to have information about it on their site.   Hagen</blockquote>
