    You missed my point, if that were true all singleplayer games would have died out along ago. The ability to commit crime does not equal the number of crimes commited. If it did, we'd have all killed each other long ago. Many games(including previous releases of the TW series) have come out before release but have still sold well. This is because not everyone is a thief as you seem to think. I'm not arguing that warez doesn't exist and that it isn't a problem, but you've really overexaggerated its effect.

    And even assuming your theory true and you've done nothing to show it being so, the TW series already requires a valid cdkey for online play, which has a strong community going for it. So if somehow on the next TW release everyone with an internet connection pirates the game instea of paying for it, they'd still have to pay if they want to play versus the real "challenge" in multi as you put it.

    Well they will with the ongoing increase of internet speeds in UK you can get 8mbs for 17.99£(20$) in the past it was not true.
    I ve seen in russian forums warez supporting people and people that NEVER bought ANY original SP game buying ORIGINAL WarcraftIII TFT and WoW and discussing about battlenet tactics and etc.
    How many people play RTW online? 400 maximum...You know how many play on the battlenet W3...Isnt that the CLEAR indication of the value of RTW's CD key in the present POINTLESS BORING REPETITIVE deathmatch battles?
    A MP campaign wouldnt take SOO long it just has two options:
    either as a MMORPG style grand campaign http://www.computerandvideogames.com...p(que)id=99798 (yep CA had thought about it...) where players connect and play whenever they want and the game goes on, or a fourth option (other than autoresolve retreat and fight yourself) that connects you on Gamespy and matches you with a player who gets in charge of the "AI" army...
    As you can see the problem is NOT technical its the community of (mostly) PIPEDREAMERS which demands things that even a jonked junky wouldnt even dream (challenging "AI", diplomacy with a CPU... ,etc.)...
