hack sites

[{XWR}Belgarion]

I know their are sites out there where you can download hacks for different games out there. I have to wonder why EA does not put a stop to them, there must be a law to stop people from disrupting copywriten software, hacking the code and making money from it! can anyone tell me why no one is doiing anything about this?

I Can think of several Game Companies that do something about it however the actions they take are Expensive and really not worth it.. Kind of hard to explain.

 

I will give you an example however..

 

World Of Warcraft (made by Blizzard Entertainment) People were making their own SERVERS and allowing other players who had boughtt he legit version of WoW play on a "free" server and hence this took away from Blizzards Subscribers (they were losing hundreds of thousands of dollars a month). So in response to this they ended up having these type of Sites who advertise such things being shut down or Blizzard would lay the smack down on them by Pursuing Legal action ( a hefty fine ). So the Website / Developers fo the 'hacked' WoW servers Complied and shutdown the site..

 

However this didnt stop from other sites from poping up all over the net so in effect their due process was a waste of time.

 

Its like Me making 10 different websites with the same content.. You may close one off but your gonna have to get the other 9 too, its a waste of the companies resources..

 

so in this case EA 'HAS' to better enforce a zero tolerancy rule, they started out with PB enabled on the servers (Hoorah for them). What would be nice is if they somehow were able to disable the specific persons CDKEY so they cannot connect to any 'online' server at all (i.e. servers without pb).

 

but that would require a program overhaul i.e More companie resources being used in the long run would it be worth it to them? thats the question.. Cheaters 'sometimes' find a way around these types of issues and hence forthe EA's R&D Resources got used for a short period of time before they had/have to 'patch' the game again to make it more secure again...

 

 

in the long run its a Patch n go Patch n go Process..

 

Im just babling now so I hope you understand that IT WOULD BE NICE if companies had unlimited resources to maintain something but a big companie like EA has many things on the go and im sure they dont have the staff or resources to maintain all of their projects at 110% if u know what i mean :).. and its not just EA its any game developer/manufactuer.
