Game Dev 2007 Resolutions

I’d like to see less companies using draconian anti-piracy measures. No consumers want to be made to feel like a criminal. Stardock’s Galactic Civilizations II has done very well without any copy protection on the CD, and our customers have been very vocal in their appreciation of not having to deal with anti-piracy measures that usually do more to irritate paying customers instead of preventing piracy.

Amen to that! I somewhat feel the same way regarding serial keys, because they are a nusiance over time. Alas, that will never happen. Regardless, less copy protection would be a great thing as the quoted develoeper above makes clear. Perhaps some game developers could get together and make a Nintendo Wii game that actually impresses me? Pow, right in the kissa!
