The Drunken Lizard Pub

Come on, seriously? no copy and paste support? Even for those always easy to remember and type registration codes? Hello, McFly, its 2010.

Its even more amusing if you launch the game past its initial (ask me every damn time why don't you "Launch Menu") into full screen mode and then want to enter the registration code...

I just love the various "DRM" and ad hoc authentication (aka "anti-piracy") schemes (the more intrusive the better no?). The best part is how only the paying customers get to really pay when it is done wrong (not that it can in fact be done right but hey thats a whole another discussion)


PS: You also need to use a different online payment service than Plimus - when one pays via paypal there is absolutely no need to waste the customers time collecting a ton of extraneous personal contact information up front that is not needed for the transaction - thats half the point of using paypal in the first place... Paypal has its own financial and email verification procedures and supplies the vendor with more than sufficient contact info when the transaction goes ahead... how hard could it be for plimus to modify their purchase form to only gather the bare minimum amount of private customer data based on the payment method chosen?

no you did not miss the point entirely, good job!

The topic of this post should be changed to - "FAIL - cannot type due to extreme laziness!!!!"

Seriously dude, chill out. I find it absolutely amazing how lazy technology has made us. In another fifty years it'll be "Seriously, I have to wipe my mouth with a napkin all by myself? WTF, it's 2060!!! Where the hell is your robot maid???"

I know you didn't just bring up invasive DRM schemes over a serial number. That would be ignorance to a level I couldn't describe.

You gotta have a point in order to miss it, big guy.

Oh, and congrats. You successfully angered the patrons of the Drunken Lizard Pub. BW's intervention is likely imminent. I see the torches and pitchforks on the horizon....

It's minor but it's 1mn lost, let say an average of 1.5 install per user, 20 000 users, the lack of this feature will make humanity lost 500 hours.

Of course, pictures of Venus Williams playing the French Open in a French maid's outfit have already cost humanity 100 x that in productivity, so...

Seriously, I prefer to cut and paste just because I make so many errors, but I wouldn't throw a hissy fit over not being able to do it.

Humanity will lose many more than 500 hours once they begin playing the game! It's a good thing exams are over or I could see grade point averages plummeting.
