GfW Live increases anti-piracy effortsDVDBack23 @ Mar 24, 2009 18:37 | 5 comments
All "Games for Windows" will now use "zero day piracy protection" that includes server side authentication "on top of a further layer of authentication required for online play."
"This update and other features currently in development represent a tipping point in the evolution of Games for Windows Live as a leading online PC gaming network," added Ron Pessner, general manager of Games for Windows Live.
"In the coming months, we will continue to deliver on our promise to provide gamers and publishers with the industry’s best connected gaming experiences through the Live service." |
Microsoft has announced that new updates headed to its Games for Windows Live platform, will include a significant ramp up in anti-piracy measures.

Comment by: KillerBug (Mar 26, 2009 10:17) This is why PC game sales are so low (not to mention Xbox360 & PS3)...why buy a game when you will have to apply a crack anyway? If you download it, it comes with the crack pre-installed (I am not condoning piracy, just playing devil's advocate).
