Warning: Use of Illegal Software on our Servers

In public servers there is a growing group of drivers racing with illegal pirated Skidmark software (don't click the download link). As a result of these growing numbers we have been checking our server logs thoroughly last night and the result is that some of our drivers are using the pirated games as well.

Thankfully those members can be counted on the fingers of two hands and out of the thousands that have signed up for a license membership that is pretty positive. So kudos to all who do support a developer by purchasing a legitimate copy of the game via www.steampowered.com and keep sim racing on PC alive :)

To the people with pirated software here is your first and final warning. Those of you who log in to race on our servers with games that you don't legally own will have their licensed membership revoked permanently. This means no more online racing at RD and back to the public servers.

We are not interested in the excuses that you may have to justify your illegal copy so don't bother starting a discussion to explain the reasons. We don't allow it.
 
cant u log there ip numbers then start posting them up, then people can start stealling stuff from them
Or even better just send the BWB round there bedsits (BWB "Boys With Bats")
you havn't thought that through have you jason? if RD done that they would be in trouble as it's breaching privacy.

the privilege is, have a license here and race with us simmers in fun fair racing, if not then your loss, stick to public servers and be rammed, RD is one of a kind, there loss not ours :)
 
I fully support the measure. No pay, no drive. Besides, most often than not, skidrows just cause mayhem in public races. if you can't fork out 20 bucks for a package or two for Race 07, then buzz off. Were there an announcement of who got banned and why on the forums? I'd like to read and remember those names just in case...
 
Yeah lets turn the problem around and blame the makers of a product instead of the persons stealing it! Great solution Adam.

Agree about the prizes being too high on some expansions (WTCC'10)
 
Jep and with GTR3 they have a last chance to deliver a high quality innovative top simulation to earn back their self-claimed title of leading developer. If GTR3 will be another milking expansion game it's over and out I fear and others that do innovate in this industry will take over their spot in this niche.

2012 has finally started and this will be the year of truth for simracing in general I think with so many new games coming out.
 
Fictional application:

Which of our supported racing games do you own?
Race 07 (SKIDROW)

:(
Too bad if someone has to steal a game for so many online racing hours. If it was a FPS with just 6h playing time, well...

BTW WTCC 2010 and STCC 2 should cost 4,99€. Most of us already have STCC and WTCC seasons 06, 07, 08.
