Nations didn't have starforce. Or at least it didn't have the stupid StarForce driver that messes with you CD drive, which is the part everyone hates.

Apparently Starforce is so bad that it's influencing reviews.

Yeah, so I got the digital download version of this. Copy protection aside, it's pretty awesome. Nice to have everything in one place, especially considering that United is able to read all of the old track data from the previous games.
I'm good with giving an otherwise great game a 0 for Starforce. I mean, I'm not buying it after all, and no force on earth is getting it on my PC, so 0 sounds perfectly reasonable.

So the digital download version has SF? What a pity.
Glad I didn't wind up buying it.
Wait, so even the download uses that starforce crap?Quote:

The biggest issue is that you are apparently limited to 3 seperate installs before you're required to email the publisher (or some security company, I'm not sure,) to reactivate your CD key. Or something.
It's no Steam, but it still beats CD checks.
I would like to get verification on whether or not the digital dl version indeed uses start force
Good. I refuse to install anything that uses Starforce, so that score pretty much sums my ultimate feelings. Reading the review is the exact reason why, even if it's not guaranteed to fuck everything up it's way too big a risk.Quote:

It'd be cool if places like GFW, IGN, and PC Gamer would do the same, but that won't happen.
