Duke4 & CDKeys etc.
Duke Nukem Forever
+ Library | + Wanted List
Following up on the big cdkey debate that's been raging around the net, Scott Miller
over at 3DRealms working on Duke4
throws in his 2
cents on the discussion with a .plan update stating Duke4 will 'likely' carry some
copy protection scheme as well, although not necessarily a cdkey. (story1 , story2) Get used to it kids, the net is
getting bigger and cd burners cheaper every day, game developers are losing more sales due
because of it.
...I've been watching the debates regarding QA3's server key validation because Duke Nukem Forever will likely use some form of copy protection too. Software theft (mostly casual theft, such a making a copy for a friend, family member, or co-worker) has become such a huge problem that developers and publishers can no longer release games without protection of some sort. Hit games used to sell many more copies than they do nowadays, and a good part of the dramatic drop must be due to the proliferation of CD-ROM burners.
