I was a bit suprised to see that they are now also collecting "anonymous" data from us with the new update. What data are they collecting from us and how is it anonymous if I have to log in?

"With the release of the AV-8B today, it is import to know that this will be the first DCS World product that uses our new protection system. Rather than use StarForce keys, we are moving to a “keyless” system which binds your purchase to your www.dcs-world.com username, and NOT a key. You will not need a constant internet connection either. The new system will just “phone home” after a four day period or the next time you log into DCS World." So am I getting this correct? "we are moving to a “keyless” system which binds your purchase to your www.dcs-world.com username" - and it wasn't earlier? Keys are bound to your username, meaning your username is bound to your purhase, meaning all purchases have always been bound to username. "You will not need a constant internet connection either. The new system will just “phone home” after a four day period or the next time you log into DCS World." - You don't need internet connection, software just phones home.

So IF you are offline for more than 4 days ..... no DCS World
Or if your day 4 happens on one of the DCS master server down days .... no DCS World for you

Collecting data? Source? Yup buy new plane. Install spyware, and denuvo(?) . Will be happy. Hahahaha Bye bye dcs Do you have a source that the new copy protection scheme will be using Denuvo DRM?

It would certainly be easier to list software that doesn't do this than the other way around. Even your browser collects your usage data. I don't see you running around claiming that Denuvo is part of your browser.
