Dear Square Enix, there's an old saying that goes something like this, "Dont cut off your nose to spite your own face."
Its best to know when to pick your battles. This is taking IP protection to ludicrous, pointless extremes that does nothing but perpetuate the SE brand as a bunch of ass-hats that gamers are increasingly not wanting to support.
This is part of why I wait to purchase SE games only when they are as cheap as dirt on Steam and/or pick them up used on console.
Not really, since the patch contains code copyrighted by square-enix, that makes it more than just a simple translation patch.
Its effectively no different than downloading a rom.
It's effectively useless since the patch is out, but square can't let people go and download their games for free.
