Yeah. Used to be people would just be happy that anyone was playing their game. Now it's all profit margins, shareholders, marketshare, mindshare and the bottom line. How embarrassing would it be if the hackers didn't even bother with your game. I'm guessing that was an "insider" video trying to wet our appetites. Fail.

If anything, downloading ROMs gives us the option to try before you buy, so to speak. If I like a game enough, I can get the cart. If I don't well, all I have to do is delete it rather than mope about having wasted a good chunk of cash.

Or maybe it's their way to draw attention to the game througout the internet.

Loads of people trying to crack it, a lot of forum "press" about it...

Think of the "publicity"!

(Okay, that'd be just lame.)

Don't think that there's any AP on this. Just ran it using No$GBA 2.6 and it played fine. No AP as far as I could tell. Probably just a bad dump. Mine was from Bahamut and as I said, it seems to work. On a side note, don't worry too much if you can't get it to run as it's just more shovelware. 3/10 at best. I think M&L3 has everyone worried about AP checks. Maybe we're seeing the boogeyman in places he really isn't.

If a nowhere game like this one is getting a privacy protection, that means it's a begening of a new era. I mean Nintendo is fighting versus hackers for a long time now. Even with big releases like Mario Galaxy, we were easily able to skip the protection. With Mario & Luigi, most of the carts are not able to emulate the game.
Yesterday, Nintendo released their new firmware which kill all sort of hacks.
Today small games like Combat of Giants - Dragons (...) have a protection. XD

Maybe...but I think you greatly underestimate these Ubisoft product lines. They might seem like "small games" because folks like us who frequent IGN, 1Up, etc. don't hear much about them, but these types of games, along with the Petz and Imagine games, get prime shelf space behind the Walmart glass. They're big sellers to the casual, retail-driven market, and that's why Ubisoft keeps churning them out.

If you consider the cost to have one intern on a development team come up with some piracy protection feature in his spare time, it doesn't make sense for companies not to put it in any of their games that are otherwise profitable.
