At least Jowood is taking the responsibility of apologizing against their "customers" for the mean reason that is killing the game industry, something crap companies like EA, Crystal Dynamics, or Ubisoft don't even have the balls for.

Oh yeah ! Once again, a game where more hours were spent "optimizing" the irritating copy protection than on the content itself....

one could argue that if the majority of games were not pirated the game companies would have more money = more time to spend on fixing bugs. Course it also means they could just be greedy and put out trash, but that's what reviews are for.

Jowood is a crappy studio, that has been making crappy games for years. I have no idea how they have survived this long. Maybe they just keep mining new fools, who think that the next release will be worth anything at all. They have had some pretty good ideas for a lot of games and failed miserably on the executions at a consistent rate. I think they should just apologise for their existence and give it up for good.
