Quoted from explosiveegg:Long story short. If someone manages to figure out how to get CCC to run on their new system, it would be pointless to try and stop them.
This is likely why they're adding additional hardware for Lyman's code. To prevent people from just pirating the new code.
CCC is an entirely different platform that ran CC in emulation. There was no CCC on CC hardware... it was the other way around. You don't have CCC without the proc platform. CCr is not that platform and nothing is going to run on it without running CGC's platform code.
They can prevent piracy the same way they did with the color upgrades... license keys either in software or hardware.
