IMO, you take this on to hard, Ming. We paid now about 80 dollars for a game we still can not play the way we want to (multiplayer that is). As said before I understand the rules and that you do not want these links published on this board but some understanding of what people try to achieve here is in place. Mind you, we BOUGHT this software and can not play it because it is protected!!!!! Those who did not buy it are hardly stopped by these so called protection methods and are having fun playing the game. I get really p***dd off by that thought.
I can fully understand that people who paid for the software feel betrayed by now and solve it any way they can. Isn't it strange that hackers are able to solve it quickly while a response of the supplier that sells so called legal software (and I sincerely doubt it is at this moment. On the box it says: MULTIPLAYER) does not even take the time to respond in a decent manner.

In that case I can completely understand your position on this. But just be honest about that.

To be honest... NO. There is no "DEAL" between Firaxis and Apolyton. If you have noticed, occasionally some of the "other" Civ sites have gotten information before Apolyton has... In addition, if such a "deal" was in place, you wouldn't be able to find ANY Firaxis bashing on this site... and if you look (and not too hard) you will find plenty of it. Granted, we do try to limit it to a few threads, and we delete the total crap rantings and ravings (like we do on most subjects) but that's just to maintain order in the forums... but there is still more than enough negative stuff posted here about the game and company. If such a deal were in place, one might say we are doing a terrible job on our end 
Apolyton is just like any other fan site... Firaxis realizes the value such sites offer them, and Apolyton likes to stay on good terms with Firaxis.
But what we are talking about here is promoting/facilitating illegal actions.
Any gaming company could begin legal action against Apolyton for allowing and helping people use their software illegally (even though I doubt this would happen)... while one might question who would win, just the threat of legal action is enough to close down a site like this. This is a hobby site, not a professional commercial site with deep pockets. The management has every right to protect their site.

I felt forced to use the solution offered to me by ........ It works great and am happy now. Thanks ......
I learned a lot in this whole process about solutions and I can tell you, I will not buy so called "legal software" anymore before I am 100% sure that it works as advertised. Will save me a lot of money and that all thanks to the Firaxis/Infogrames combination (and to be honest earlier experience with craptivision... or was it activision?).
If it is good software I will keep buying it, though. I want those companies to stay alive. As for the others........
