I bought Civilisation 3, only to find to my consternation that those b******s at EA want me to switch off all CD duplication programs. Okay, reasonable request, I thought. So I disabled CloneCD's Virtual Drive(I don't even use that stuff any more), made sure it didn't start up, and rebooted. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero. I can understand their concerns over piracy, but when I buy a game that I meet the requirements for, I bloody well expect to be able to play it. I'm not about to reinstall Windows 98(for probably the 10th time in my life) just to play a game, so the game will sit and collect dust till I get a brand new system(or someone can hack a way past that irritating POS requirement)
