I'm sort of curious about this as well.BFett wrote:Flatfingers wrote:Is it worth giving them some time with Freelancer if they haven't already had that pleasure?Where would one pickup a copy of freelancer now days?Talvieno wrote: Completely agree with this.

I lent my copy to my brother years ago, and it doesn't look like I'm getting it back anytime soon.

It's actually possible to get a hard copy on amazon. Besides, JanB1, I'm sure the game has some copy protection, and removing this protection is an expensive crime in Germany.

Good thing I'm not from Germany. And I dunno if there's a copy protection. But I don't think so. Old games were DRM free (mostly).kostuek wrote:It's actually possible to get a hard copy on Amazon.

Since I'm a bored human being, I did a quick research. Freelancer would ask you for the original CD in your disc drive, which was probably the first version of DRM for games.JanB1 wrote: Good thing I'm not from Germany.

There were even crazier DRMs. There was a game that had a disk with different numbers and characters and another, overlapping disk that had cutouts. During the installation, you had to turn the disk with the cutouts to a specific location and then you had to put in the numbers and characters you could see in a clockwise manner, starting from a specific point. That was one of the crazier DRMs I saw so far.Silverware wrote:WRONG! :Vkostuek wrote:Since I'm a bored human being, I did a quick research.

The earliest DRM was even more fun!
The DRM for SimEarth for example, had you look up specific numbers and values from the manual.
While now they are all mapped out and available in a text document, at the time you would have to own a copy of the manual to be able to play. :3
