StarForce- 'The DRM' Strikes Back
For the first time since the watch list has been created, the average amount of days; from the official release date of a PC game to the time we see it on the illegal download boards... is in the positive. It's only +0.19 of a day... but is shocking nonetheless!

This is due to the emergence of the StarForce DRM system, which seems to have had a revamp in its protection software. The scene cracking groups are having to deploy new circumvention techniques with the DRMs, but its taking them some time to do it.

However credit goes out to StarForce and Reloaded for designing ingenious software methods.
