    As i've seen over the last year or so, copy protection is useless. It doesn't stop games being copied, and inconveniences honest customers. Companies should just give up caring about pirates and start caring about making sure the games they deliver are good quality.

    Obviously, no copying system is going to stop the pirates - if they want to bypass it, eventually they will. Despite this, I have no preference as to whether copy protection is included, as long as it isn't intrusive - after all, not having any wish to copy or pirate games, it doesn't really effect me.

    FactionHeir posted some simple, but potentially effective ways of providing extra incentives for customers to buy the game at the bottom of this post. I don't really mind whether they do this or not - I buy the game, not additional materialistic accessories for it.

    Those are good incentives.
    Some games come with useful guides for newbie players, as C&C Renegade, and I found it very useful when I was a newbie at that game. I think CA should do this.
