Keep up with client's demand? I didn't realize there was a problem, let alone a demand for such a thing! In fact, I read every now and again, how game companies are removing the StarForce technologies, as it is upsetting their paying customers and a boycott of such games is being organized. Seems to me if I was selling games, I would steer clear of things like this. At least, they should have to announce on the front of the package, that this action was taken, to stop emulation.
