Same here. There are quite a few games I would have never purchased had I not been able to pirate it first. Piracy acts as a demo of sorts for me. If I actually like the game, I almost always buy it.

Would have helped if you'd stated which one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bud what makes you think you have any control of your data on any instance?

Just create an outbound firewall rule for the Photoshop exe that blocks internet access. That way it can't phone home.

Unless I'm missing something, the only reason Adobe even could disable your pirated Photoshop is if you haven't blocked the application from accessing the internet in your firewall. C'mon, that's basic stuff. =)

People will never learn to not preorder games. I have no hope for humanity at this point.

Still a regular Slashdot reader/lurker. Don't do much posting there anymore though.
