MorphOS - YOU should try it too

[Piru]

Are you listening MorphOS devs?

Yes, but I'm not hearing any better alternative being suggested.

Nothing is uncrackable

Certainly true. However some effort has been spent in making the cracking quite difficult. Also, being the whole OS rather than a single application certainly makes it harder.

However, using "nothing is uncrackable" as a rationale for removing the protection doesn't quite sound right to me.

the current scheme is preventing some users buying it

We might lose some potential users with this hw-tied-keyfile for sure, but at least we avoid rampant piracy. It's impossible to please everyone.

Everything in my house has AMD, Intel, or 68k will it run on any of those?

MorphOS Supported Hardware

That might be so, but it dosent change the fact that it will be cracked if it ever reaches the interest of enough people

That would only apply the the specific version released at that point. If any crack would appear the security measures would be tightened for the next release. It's a cat-and-mouse game, as always. So far the cat has been lazily lying in the sun. There hasn't been any mice to chase.
