Is this "Registration" new way of copy protection for WitP?

I am asking this because the WitP will be available ad "Digital Download and on CD this eliminates the SafeDisc/SecuRom (and other kinds of CD protections that can only be made in CD manufacturing facility)...

However, it obviates the need to keep the CD in the drive to start the game and replaces other forms of possibly drive-unfriendly copy protection, so we think it's a better solution for legit customers in the overall balance.

Nah, the serial number is 512 digits, includes letter and numbers (lots of ohs and zeros, lots of lower-case "L"'s and ones), is case-sensitive, is unicode and includes Japanese characters.

In all seriousness, thank God for this new form of copy protection. That stupid "safe-disk" or whatever, was a royal pain, and didn't work anyway because there are no-cd version of UV out there.

So, will the registration be fixed before you put the patch for Fatal Error 772 up for download? If we can't register our serial number, how will we be able to download the patch and finally get a chance to look at the game? Or will that patch not require the registration before downloading? Just wondering...(okay, so I am very antsy now!).

Status: offline 		Thanks, Erik... so far this has become a comedy of errors for me. The irony hasn't been lost on me, but I am still glad to have a version with a retail DVD case...
