[pest]

When UT2k3 came out, it didnt require the key. For their first patch epic started requiring cd validation. Man you should have heard all the guys crying about how epic was only hurting themselves, and how they would never buy an epic game again, yada, yada, yada....Of course this was coming frmthe guys that hadnt given epci any money to begin with. It was rather humorous. Personally, I prefer games that dont require validation, but occastionally, I will buy one that has it, if it is worthwhile. SH does not fall into that category (but I did buy it).
