An interesting thing happened a while back!

So an interesting thing happened a while back, as the word of WarFace is spreading, most of the time I receive positive reviews. Then sometimes I receive bad ones too, it doesn’t bother me; that is the nature of the human condition.
Some people believe, some don't, some think this is an excellent idea, while
other dismiss without a second glance. All criticism are welcomed, and anything that can be used to learn from is a bonus.

So after checking several statistical bots, I found a link to a German overclocking site that had linked to my webpage. I followed it back, basically to see the opinions of WarFace.

Of course I wasn’t bother by any of the opinions expressed, in fact they have no idea of me or what I am trying to achieve. Why would they believe I am any different than any other soothe sayer? WarFace is a company “of getting results” through strange and unorthodox means, how do you describe that on paper? No that is something that has to be proven over time!

[...] With all that said and done, however, piracy is always going to be an issue on the PC. So when I saw the tweets from a startup company known as WarFace, offering up a full “Anti-Piracy Strategy” and omitting the dreaded words of DRM from the aforementioned tweets, I had to find out more. So. I proceeded to get in touch with founder of WarFace, James Grimshaw and bombarded him with questions about the product.

It makes me smile when reading, in my humble opinion not to be taken seriously...

badass - supergeil - darauf hat die industrie gewartet

das it-works ist ja endgeil ... die verpflichten sicher den cast von the expendables um alle illegalen kopien aufzuspüren und dann mit shotguns zu erledigen

badass - super cool – this is what the industry has been waiting for


If it indeed works, its hot shit ... just like the cast of the expendables to track down the illegals with shotguns





Mr. Zet

I loled (als ich die FAQ gelesen habe)

Herrlich:

What about file sharing?


File sharing Sites have one major weakness; the links has to be passed on to others. This is normally done in a forum, and that means people have to leave their details behind. WarFace has first hand information of these sites and the email addresses of the moderators.



na wenns so einfach is :D

Alle die " :D " gepostet haben sind bestimmt schon auf der Warface pöse user watschlist!


Marvelous:

Wenn das dann so ist schaun ma mal.

" :D "

Hab mir das auch durchgelesen, Wäre aber mal ein interessanter ansatz das eine firma aktiv versucht torrents zu stören, bzw. gabs da nicht mal ne geschichte (zu napster zeiten <== oops pöses wort) das da mit absicht lieder in umlauf gebracht haben die irgendwo störungen hatten ?

naja mal sehen, von all den kopierschützen ist mir steam immer noch am sympatischsten

If so then this is the times we live in. (?literal- If so then the show of the times)

I have also read, it would be an interesting approach for a company to actively disrupt torrent, or. Was there not a story (In Napster times <== oops ?pöses -post? word) where songs in circulation are used for intentional interference? Well let’s see, of all the copy protections Steam is still the most likeable.

ja, da waren damals iirc einige "fakesongs" im umlauf.

Yes, as there were some “fakesongs” in circulation back then. (? iirc is either “in my recollection” or maybe means IRC?)





d3cod3

da will wohl wer schnell förderungen abstauben bevor das unternehmen ex geht
:-p

Who wants to help themselves to some quick downloads before the company starts (?Total guess work, my German is rubbish!)




Rektal

I only believe it when I see it, i.e. a game said to have that "thing" and being not available illegally.




Excuse my translation, and if anyone wants to point out any corrections, just leave a comment. I think the best thing it to take a general meaning of what the sentence is implying. For example Turrican says “lol, was für ein joke” which translates as “lol, what a joke”. But I don’t think it means the same in English. I would like to think that it means that the whole
nature of the thread is a funny joke! Unless the joke is actually on me! :)

I bear no ill will towards any of the guys here, I am sure they are all good people that have no dealings with illegal downloading. I think we were all having a little fun and all in the spirit of things.
Though, I never did hear again from TassDingo! But does he have a point? No and yes, based on the failings of others over the years and the whole mess that has now become piracy. I don’t blame anyone for making snap judgements and laughing at the whole topic that is piracy!

Something has to be done! If nothing more than to give gamers a reassurance that positive steps are being taken! WarFace is here to walk those steps. We are the middle ground; we cater for both gamers and publishers, not just protecting copy infringement rights, but protecting the PC platform.

Now these guys are all worried about WarFace tracking the names of illegal downloaders, we aren’t interested in that, though I didn’t say it. What we are interested in is removing illegal torrents or file sharing. Trying to track someone through the internet is worse than a needle in 20 haystacks. It’s a waste of time and resources! We are more interested in getting results, not wasting time.

Anyone who uploads PC games, they are fair game. We are not after the crackers, because they are a separate entity to the people that share games. Crackers are in it for the challenge of breaking something, while they make the whole anti-piracy process more difficult, we do respect them. (But that’s for another post!) It’s the uploader, who is at fault, they are the ones killing this industry, and yes we maintain that it is dying!

But don’t worry, WarFace is here to solve everyone’s problems!

Just the piracy issues first!
