Let's get to the real reason why Psygnosis continues to keep that strangle
hold on our disk drives.  They're afraid of piracy, so much so that they
will lose their honest customers through their crappy copy protection.

Awesome (which I returned many many moons ago) refuses to work on my computer
because of the copy protection.  And everyone knows how bad the drives gronk
when loading up the Killing Game Show.  And this minor "victory" they call
themselves achieving is only put out by this "key disk" thing.

Now I ain't a pirate, but I know a few, and they are just like regular car
thieves.  If they want it, they will have it unless you shoot them.  Psygnosis
will come up with a new way to strain our drives to death, and some pirate will
come along and pull some strings and bam-there goes another copy protection
scheme.

I say Psygnosis needs to quit fuckin around and get with the program, and start
worrying about their HONEST customers, which far outnumber their dishonest
ones.  Before they go broke over this shit, like.

Just my $67 minus $66.98 rebate with no tax.
