Simply I just wonder why they would make it so you can't cheat, are hack the program, you don't get anything special or win anything by beating the game. And since we the consumers have bought the game shouldn't we have the choice to cheat or not.
Besides if people want to hack or mod the game, don't this mean people will continue to play it, increasing its replay ability, or couldn't it be token as a sign that the game has popularity if it is being modded, with all the other games available wouldn't they be happy to see people put that kind of effort into messing with it.
It's kinda like MP3's the artists don't like to lose money to piracy but at the same time it makes a lot of them happy to know they have the fan base out there, Just cause someone doesn't pay for the album doesn't mean they wouldn't pay for concert tickets and memorabilia.
Also could the majority of the issues stopping a trainer from happening due to the fact that its a port over, and that maybe the way the console uses it's memory could be quite different then the pc? Not sure if this is the case but to me it would kinda make sense

Right, just a couple of points - about the qouted post.
Firstly, this game is (in my opinion) a straight port from XBox360, that's why it doesn't support any traditional game controllers, only XBox compatible controllers are supproted.
and as far as i know there is no real difference between the memory I/O.
Secondly I have done enough copy protection programming to know that it would take more than a month or two to do what they did, and NoCD/DVD cracks where out (no i'm not getting into an argument about them) in about a week of game release, just shows how good they where at programming copy protection...
Also there was a cracked version on the torrents a day BEFORE the game was released...

Anyway, every time i put in jmp's, nop's, inc's, add's, sub's, etc. it always crashes the game, caliber... any idea.
