The sequel just uses a disc check and doesn't require online authentication, though obviously the DLC does note If you have the game illegally, you can't get the DLC, because as the game starts, the game have to "check in" online, which will detect that your version is illegal. There was also going to be a validation process that checked up on you every 10 days (or else the game wouldn't run), but this was nixed after immense backlash from players. You don't get back an activation, and changing your hardware settings takes one up.
The player is only allowed three activations on a single computer until they have to buy another copy. There was much controversy that surrounded the release of the PC version of the first Mass Effect.The player gets three chances to give the correct answer before getting ejected from the game. The player has to rely on a code wheel (included with the software and manual) to find the correct answer. At or near the beginning of the game, the player is asked the salary of a certain position in a certain year. Earl Weaver Baseball is an pioneering strategy-based sports game, and also provides an early example of Copy Protection.You can keep playing, but the chickens do no damage and no one can die. Crysis Warhead expansion replaces all the bullets in pirated copies with live chickens.However, it's so finnicky that some games (Generals and Renegade) break their installers after one time. Recoding the copy-protection for the entire package of games would take time to code and to verify, and could introduce new problems to a game that was already running smoothly, so it's rarely worth the effort. While not nearly as bad as most of the examples here, the package took the rather silly step of using a separate CD key for every game, meaning that installing all of them requires about ten minutes of typing in half a dozen codes for the same product * It should be noted that this is pretty typical for "packaged" games, as they're intended to be released as quick cash-ins on an existing franchise or to generate hype for a new game in a long-running series. Command and Conquer: The First Decade is a collection of all of the games in the series as far as Generals, along with all the appropriate expansion packs.Not to mention that it was cracked within three days. While it didn't bring up as much bad press as in Ubisoft's case, it still saw plenty of backlash and criticism - and that included one of EA's own employees. Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight forced players to be always connected to the internet in order to play the game, and it lacked any sort of LAN mode.
