I am not sure what you mean. You mean buying the PC version? I actually do own the PS2 version, which seems better now that I compare the two, but like I said emulation is not the best, so I was hoping PC would be a good choice, but it seems it is not.

Just a lttle addition quoted from the forum rules

(not allowed)

"Linking to cracks, key generators, and pirated content. However, discussions about piracy are generally acceptable.".

So it's not completely forbidden to talk about these as as long as you don't post any links to the mentioned sites.

Yup, read it. Thank you though for pointing it out

I wouldn't call "This is generally how you pirate a game" instructions as "discussion about piracy" though.

You may note I had stepped away from this discussion.

To be perfectly honest, I came up doing program/ game hacking as well as security. Wrote articles and everything for a couple of the instructional websites.

Thank you though for the follow up.

My intensions was to never pirate the game, I guess you probably already know that though.

I wanted to see if it was even worth it to get the PC version, but seeing that there really isn't anyway around Starforce, and that I can alteast play the PS2 version, which actually is better, then I think we can end the discussion here.

As pointed out, biggest obstacle would probably licensing which had run out; same reason gog had to remove an (I guess) similar game called [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_Driver:_Grid] GRID [/url] some time ago.
