Are You Pro or Anti Starforce

[SR]Caveman · 09-05-2006, 08:12 AM

Greetings to all. I am SR Caveman, Community Manager for Stormregion (makers of Rush for Berlin). We use Starforce on our games and, as you can see here, it has led to some interesting discussions.

One point that has arisen many times before is that there are many. many anti-starforce people who will not buy a game with Starforce protection. But no one, including me, knows how big this group is. Maybe it is time to get an idea about this. So, if you would not purchase a game with Starforce (any game, not just ours) please post in this thread. The reason why you would not purchase the game is because of Starforce and if it were removed, you would purchase it. A simple "anti-starforce" will do. This is not meant to be a discussion but rather a poll of sorts (without the poll part).

Here are the rules:

1) You can go anywhere on the internet to muster support for this thread. You can encourage people to come here and post.
2) See Below
3) Simply write "anti-starforce" in your post. This is not meant to be a discussion but rather a count of heads. So please do not provoke a discussion in this thread.
4) No poll because it should be easy to identify everyone

EDIT:

The old rule number 2 was this:

2) But... Only people who have an existing account will be counted. You must have started your account on Sept. 3rd or before. I do not want to see this unbalanced because people start creating multiple accounts. With 3 million users here, that should be more than enough gamers.

The new rule number 2 is this:

2) Anyone can post in this thread to add their vote. The join date restriction is gone.

Also #4 was edited to agree with the new rule #2.

My stance is very apparent! Anti-StarForce. I am a long time HoMM fan and was not going to buy the fifth due to sf. After Ubi dropped it, bought it the day it came out. Wish Trackmania guys would get rid of it as well
