    Does it cost you money to call their hotline?

    Except the time you are wasting? Time = money

      it doesn't matter if it were a toll free number, or if the process was somehow guaranteed to only take five minutes of your time. (just a quick look at Atari's web site and I could not find any phone number to call, nor is the product even listed on their support page).

      Placing the burden on the legitimate customer to prove their ownership of the game for continued activations is beyond infuriating and downright insulting, especially when you consider it does nothing to stop piracy but is really only effective at devaluing used game sales.
