I do know that their decision influenced my buying habits. (And not in a good way.) Too bad on the numbers needed to make CD keys work, they seemed a reasonable compromise. Heck, there are a few gamers that I suspect would be willing to buy AB2 if it were still available, just to have legal programs without the fershluginer DRM. I sometimes think that half the reason that WARMACHINE is popular with my group is that Armies of Immoren is available so easily. I know that this is why I use PCGen. It may be kludgy, but I do not need to worry about DRM. Hero Lab may be the best thing since sliced bread, but with the DRM I am not about to invest in it.I am in the difficult position of hating both piracy and so many of the means chosen to prevent it. Between AKM (?) and Adobe the idea of limited software licenses leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The Auld Grump</blockquote>
