   If you just released a game, would you do this?
  I was just browsing around, and stumbled onto the webpage for The Adventure Company.  Looking at the page on the new Broken Sword game, I was reading their FAQ:http://www.adventurecompanygames.com/tac/support/broken_sword.htmlThe first question reads "I've lost my CD-KEY for the game. How can I obtain one?"  Thinking the people would say call a number or email someone, I kept reading.  To my surprise, they actually give the cd-key!Is this common practice?  Smart practice?  Or could it be some elaborate joke set up by TAC?[edited by - Coaster Kev on February 6, 2004 2:10:04 AM]
  Kind of defeats the whole purpose. ;  Well, i guess it saves time.. i would have never thought of going to th epublishers website to look for the CD_Key... but i will now... ------------------------------------------;  The new Broken Sword game you say? That''s weird, my copy of it didn''t come with a CD key and it didn''t ask for one. ;  That is really strange... I wonder if it''s the same for anything else?... Hmmm...  Yes... VB6 is here to steal your minds. Very slowly. ;  I don''t actually have the game, but I guess if it doesn''t actually ask for a cd-key, the answer on the webpage might just be a joke. ;quote:Original post by Coaster Kev  I don''t actually have the game, but I guess if it doesn''t actually ask for a cd-key, the answer on the webpage might just be a joke.   Could be. ;  if you scroll down on the site, you can read that it USED to have a CDKey system. But there were problems with that, so they released a patch to remove the entire security system. And thus, CD-Keys aren''t needed anymore.Difficult, huh, reading? ;  Is it a trust and play type of deal, or a pay if you want type of thing? ;quote:Original post by PouyaCat  Difficult, huh, reading?  Damn you and your reading... i DON''T NEED IT!!!
