Hitman Contracts
 

Gah! I bought this game, and the copy protection kicked in for no reason!!! This is why i hate the industry right now... it caters to pirates and hurts the honest gamer... grrrr

whenever i try to load up the game it says "please insert the original cd, not a backup" <- since when is this even allowed? I thought you could make backups?

gah

im mad

Is this game out for PC yet?
Or, which system did you buy it for? I want it! ;)

Well i have to wait to the 30th april before i can get my dirty littel hands on this game... i cant wait

The same thing happened with me when I first installed UT2K4. I had the DVD Special Edition and I was pissed when it wouldnt load.

It worked after 10 or 15 tries and I have since eliminted the issue by patching the original exe.

I dont blame you for being mad

Not that I'm blaming you, but quite often this happens when the user has old CDroms or DVDroms. They cant read the encryption right, and assume the cd is bad.

Otherwise yeah, they spend so much money on protection schemes that get defeated in a matter of days or even before release.

Whats the point, spend that money elsewhere.
