That's not an exaggeration either. Would you believe that I was referred to a
site dedicated to program cracks and the sort by Blizzard support to see whether
the crack didn't help solve my constant crashes with Diablo 2? This was in their
official Web Support Forum, I kid you not. When you look at the dates, you see
it is almost immediate, and the cracks have only one purpose but to help the
program overlook the need for a CD. There are TONS of such sites, so that the
dishonest need not even look hard. This requirement will punish ONLY the honest
buyer, as the dishonest user will have the less harassing cracked version.
Great.
