On the other hand, if AITD5 doesn't get cracked, ESA will claim the copy protection to be superior, even if Atari still goes bankrupt. As far as I'm concerned, the content industry needs to create something worth buying for bitching that nobody is buying their crap.

Eventually the name was sold to Hasbro. Anything after that has been the chicken running around with its head cut off. It was all the fault of the Tramiels (Jack, who bought Atari to make computers (NOT video games) to compete with his old company Commodore; and Sam, who didn't want in-house software development for the Jaguar and relied on signing up "over 150 software companies", fewer than 20 of whom actually made games for the system).

I don't really buy new games, but I do tend to look for used copies of games I want so that I know I'm getting a complete copy. However, they can take that Activation crap and shove it. For the record, I won't spend a single sent on new Valve releases either. I don't care how many promises they make to release patches in the even of the company going out of business. Until such a patch exists and is available to me, they can keep their DRM-infected games.

Maybe the scene is just ashamed to waste their time on it! :) If I’m thinking of the right reviews, I heard the game was absolutely horrid.
