Ted, I think you're being a _little_ harsh with Perry. First of all I
agree that it very well may inhibit the sales of his new game when people
find out about the registration. However, Perry (ASDG) is trying to find a
reasonable, workable way that profits both the Amiga community and ASDG and
other developers as well. We all know that the time and money that goes
into writing copy protection for any product is basically an effort in
futility as the stuff is broken 5 minutes after it's out the door and
sometimes before.
Perry left his message to get a feel of what 10,000 Amiga Forum members
think about this _possible_ form of trying to protect the game from rampant
piracy. If he didn't give a damn he would just protect it in whatever way
he chose and the heck with everyone.
Maybe Perry's biggest fault is that he cares to much about the people who
buy his commercial products as well as things like the RRD. Maybe he
should just be like so many other companies and just not care at all.
