lol, I find it a fail
Infinity Ward thought that by using the match making from the console versions they would stop piracy aswell as using steam in MW2 but it didn't, it was a gateway to making a new network called AlterIWnet that was alot better then the proper game (Wish I pirated it now ). Using steam was also a fail aswell, on the first release people could add a illigal character to their name and it would not kick them with a steam error.
Treyarch thought that by using steam like Infinity Ward did for MW2 they would make Black Ops piracy proof but again, it has just enhanced it because these companies don't understand that steam is probally easier to crack as you only need to edit the steam_api.dll that comes with the game and maybe a few things in the exe file.
Main thing is that piracy is a powerfull force in the universe It's hard to stop it and if you can...... Then chuck norris has assisted you
But overall piracy won't be stopped, there is no way to stop it, you can edit all the files you want, use all the serials you want, ban all the sites you want, Use steam all you want, use windows live for games all you want,Use DRM all you want,Use DVD/CD protection all you want, use DLL's all you want, use online activation for games all you want, Use..... Well you get the point
