I will admit, it is impressive that it took a week and a half for the game to be cracked. Usually they appear on the torrent sites within 24 hours of release, sometimes even earlier. That actually concerns me a great deal. It seems that their protection method worked better than anything else that has been tried yet. That by itself may be enough to encourage companies to continue to do this kind of thing, despite the outrage from the legitimate consumers. In the long run, one game like this isn't going to cheese me off too much, but if it becomes a trend it will make me a very unhappy bovine.
