All the lousy pirates can now get ready to walk the plank as hardware based encryption will soon make PC games piracy impossible. Speaking at Wedbush Morgan Securities annual Management Access Conference; Nolan Bushwell, founder of Atari, revealed details about the hardware based anti-piracy measure:
There is a stealth encryption chip called a TPM that is going on the motherboards of most of the computers that are coming out now,” he pointed out
“What that says is that in the games business we will be able to encrypt with an absolutely verifiable private key in the encryption world - which is uncrackable by people on the internet and by giving away passwords - which will allow for a huge market to develop in some of the areas where piracy has been a real problem.
Har har!
