Your DRM choice

Besides, i could also say, unless you have solid evidence that those number are true, don't bother bringing it up.

No, no, no - that's what you're supposed to say. You literally don't have to prove anything as the initial claim must be proven first for, you know, "discussion" to work.

Well, either that, or just make an image that says something like "Puppies: 70, Kittens: grey". It would make as much sense as the initial one with the Witcher and Diablo 3.

They'll never practically get the online component of the game to work anyway so that'd be DRM enough. so that and a CD key. The best DRM was the one that came with the helicopter game that took 30 minutes then the screen became all out of focus and blurry etc. The reason it was effective (Nobody's cracked it to this day) is because it's really difficult to test if your crack attempt worked when you have to wait so long for the effects to kick in.

Could we at least get the name of the game? "The helicopter game" doesn't really narrow it down.

The game's name is Take On Helicopters and the anti-piracy software is called FADE by Bohemia interactive.

fade has been and still is cracked in every iteration, since the days of OFP. it's simply tied to the CD key, so you only need an algorithm-fitting key and block the verification. only takes days after release usually, in case of some of the arma games it even happened before release. granted, that's not a classical DRM-removal crack like you'd have in an altered .exe, but as a method of making a pirated game playable, it works just fine.

concerning the toppic: no matter what you implement, it's going to happen. so i'd say, the least invasive method possible. cd key check and such. because no matter what you do, it WILL be cracked. might as well not punish your honest customers.

Nope I can't find a single working crack for the FADE DRM on Take On Helicopters, all the comments usually say that it starts to go blurry and stuff 30 minutes in.

Frankly, the situation is polarized to the point where a compromise for practical DRM is getting close to impossible.
The lazy answer is to just reiterate what worked in the previous generation (mucking with consoles carries more risk than downloading a crack on PC), but that answer does not satisfy the AAA publishers.
