Resxt Your restaurant analogy was pretty damn hilarious tbh, in the other thread. Obviously you can't compare something like a digital product to something that's physical, which has to be produced and due to that is in limited supply. You guys went from "download the game here/the launcher will download the full game for you" to now, essentially, scaredy-cat real damn quick.

Will it be half-assed though? Because in your server owner thread it says it won't be checked whether or not DLC is owned. Surely you wouldn't let people get french fries and soda for free, just because they paid for the main course, right? Because they only paid for the burger and not for the fries or coke, so your analogy, if it were good to begin with, would fall apart right then and there.

In the end I get why you guys are doing this, but at least be upfront about it and just say "we don't want to get sued/have our work CnDed by corporate". Don't make up excuses, just tell your players how it is.

Resxt Once again, big words when you guys, according to anywhere on the internet, let people download the game for free to begin with. Unless of course all those posts I've read online are wrong and you're never supplied a torrent to your users and/or had the launcher download the torrent for you.
If that's wrong, whatever. If this whole freeloading thing bothered you so much, with "low quality users" using your service, you should've implemented an ownership check a long time ago. Surely it's not difficult to verify whether or not a copy is legit, is it?

It's genuinely nice that projects like this one exist, but to act this way now, it's just very weird. Whether or not you guys will start enforcing player game ownership too, I for one don't care much. I, as most likely many others, will simply move on. But I guess that's okay since I am just a low quality player.
