I think about two years ago (when BFV came out)i lent my bf 42 to a six year old. He has no BB and just plays single player...everytime i go down ther he's always playing it on single player(god bless 'em).

Never missed it until now, Think i'll have to do some covert ops to get it back:D

just make him an image and leave the image so he can still play sp, he wont need key for that, all you need is the key.

How about he just buys it him for his Birthday or some other occasion instead?

It's not as if the title's not in the budget range atm, or as if it can't be picked up in the FS Forum for a few quids... You'd think pirating software was the norm these days :mad:

It depends on whether you own the 2 systems, or whether that 6-year old is your neighbour and your copy of BF1942 is installed on his/his parents' PC.

I run BF2 off an image as well. Just so I don't have to take the DVD out of its box. Nothing wrong with that.

But both matters are not related. Just so you know.

Fairy - tbh, pretty little incentive to keep developing anything at all, if people in the main are gonna play your game without paying for it. Common sense, is all.

I took it a face value, not being a TiG member and therefore not knowing about the private joke (if that's what it was).

If that's not what it was, the point is elementary: there isn't any incentive for a game developer to be developing new & better games, if most players are not going to buy their existing games in general. To begin with, there won't be a revenue stream to pay for any new development anyway, never mind the lease on the softco's studio :rolleyes:

I'll lay it on thick, for the sake of clarity: I developed BF2, sold 1 copy, yet 50 people are playing it, 49 playing it with an *.MDS and a piece of freeware and 1 playing it with the retail DVD from which the *.MDS were made.
