Precisely! Any security, ANY Copy-Protection can be compromised by
persistant people. But Pay Pal is a huge part of on-line comerce. So any
company that wishes to remain a company is well served by taking whatever
additional steps they can. If Trimedia holds on to your code for a day or
two...good for them.
Now if they***up and do not issue a code to a properly paying
user...THEN you have plenty of room to gripe and complain.

The graphics aren't that great for one probably because of its old game
engine.
The physics aren't that great either... Unless your playing these games
with a wheel any jerky movements will send you into a spin even if you
didn't break that heavily. Pretty annoying.. I don't drive with assists
so everything is off. even ABS. but full breaking didn't lock the wheels
up immediately only after like a few seconds.. Thats kind of strange..
In the small NASCAR oval track.. Only there can a few *** drifts be
pulled off because of the banked roads.. or because I don't feel like
braking and then I see in the rear mirror a huge cloud of smoke. :) Hehe
Maybe if I have a wheel this game would be fun.. But right now with this
analoge controller its no fun at all.. Compared to RBR this track
driving is pissing me off. Although the AI is rather easy and nice. They
rather stop after you had an accident instead of going around you.. I
haven't had the AI spin me out so far unlike in Forza where they are
super aggressive.
After all these patches I didn't see that many improvements... And
online play where I have to go hunt for maps offline.. Haha! How
convenient.. And I payed for this game too.. :|
RBR + LFS Demo multiplayer is all I need for now..
After I get a wheel I might repurchase this game. But I doubt it because
I would probably spend most of my time playing RBR. :)

Though you may not be an official troll youre close enough that I dont want
to waste my time reading your (no wheel) nonsense.
