Cassandra likes elves for their taste, Cobalt for it's pretty colors, and kittens for their cute intentions. She is incredibly strong, but horribly unlucky, and speaks with a rasping accent. She is white with black eyes. She likes dwarves for their hilarious intentions.

You could just infect all the dwarves with vampirism since they don't need booze. Just feed them migrants and they'd be even faster than normal.

Tricks like that are funny but they just delay things (Though, that's the real point of DRM.  Try to delay the crackers long enough to make sales quotas).  I know there was at least one game that  never got cracked.  I think it was a Splinter Cell game.
Really? I didn't think there were any major games that have gone uncracked. The top cracking teams tend to be very, very, good at what they do.

No. Now you're just being cruel. Although to be fair, half of the dwarves are beardless as is. I don't know why the females don't have beards in DF, but I don't agree with it.

All goblins, kobolds, elves and wildlife are replaced by bronze collosi, while dwarves are replaced with dingos.

That's not a punishment, it just provides the player with loads more fun.

The bronze collosi do not attack, even if you order your dingos in to military formation and attack them. They just sit there, being invincible and stuff.

The magma sea does not exist, and your dingos cannot dig because they have no hands. Dingos can't tantrum, get fey moods or become melancholy either.

Now that would be a good anti-piracy measure.

I'm curious about running a dingo fortress now. I'll have to sit down and figure out how to make them a player race.

I love this forum sometimes.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Most games get cracked quite fast, with the exception being those that run partly serverside. (Even then they sometimes manage to do it.)

I can't remember the quote exactly, but it went like this:

Steam's build in DRM has proven itself tremendously for us. The game was cracked ten days later then normal, bringing it on five days before release.
