Aspyr announced that the NA version of Spellforce 2: Shadow Wars, the sequel developed by Phenomic Games, will incorporate some other form of copy-protection than Starforce. "Starforce is being used in the demo in cooperation with the European publishers of the title, JoWood Productions. This is to help prevent reverse engineering that could lead to our product being put up on illegal software networks. We apologize for any inconveniences Starforce may have caused and would again like to reassure everyone that we have chosen alternative copy protection software for our final release product. Thank you for your interest in Spellforce 2!" Thanks: Blues.
