Why No KeyGens?

[Bradius]

Does Anyone know why they cant create key generators for online games? eg Battle.net

Im not after keys or anything - I actually buy most of my games - I would just like to know why the crackers cant create key generators for online multiplaying...

I mean they can create offline ones, seems wierd.

Thanks,
Brad

well it works in a sence that bilzzard has a database of vaild keys for battle.net, and if you key doesn't match a key they've stamped out, you can't get on. not 100% if thats hwo it works, but it may be somthing similar

bout as logical as it comes... they can control it better by having you play online... at home there is no validation as to how many times a key has been used

Exactly as mentioned above. It's not the "crackers" fault, it's the authentication process that takes place on the side of the server you are connecting to. e.g battle net

ah didn't think of that before, a database.

that makes it impossible to use random keys.
