I was going to do a review of CDV's upcoming American Conquest: Divided Nation but it seems that I will not be able to do so because CDV is continuing with their blind, unthinking adherence to the destructive Starforce copy protection scheme.

I've missed out on Cossacks 2 already because of Starforce, how many more will I miss out on? I loved the original Cossacks and American Conquest and want so desperately to play the sequels but when a publisher resorts to using software from a company that encourages the pirating of games that refuse to use their software I cannot do business with them. Starforce is a blight on the gaming community and the cessation of their existence will make the world a better place.

Ubisoft has already dumped them - Heroes of Might and Magic V did not ship with Starforce as originally announced. Hopefully more companies will be added to the list of publishers refusing to use this dangerous software.
