I've worked with SmartCard cards for login authentication. There is a picture of a chip on the card but its just a picture. The actual hardware is inside the card between two layers of plastic. Look at any RFID access card, this is how they work.
The real money is when someone can just print a 3D printer. But then I'm sure someone will try to print a 3D printer that is currently printing a different 3D printer. Then we all are doomed!
Next we'll see in game pop-up ads followed by in game pop-up ad blockers. lol
but seriously.. I'm all for ad based games (if done right). I remember when Adware like shareware was a good thing. It usually meant you'd get 75%-90% of the functionality of the full version for free (with the addition of ads). Now most adware is spyware type crap...
If they plan to use ads in their game and charge the same price i'm not buying, but if they reduce the price (or make it free) i'd give it a short. hopefully you will have the option to pay the remaining retail amount for the ad free version
on a side note.. some pod casts i listen to are now putting ads in their audio, i still listen because of two reasons: 1. the ads are short and relevant to the content and 2. the content is worth annoyance of the ads. If games follow this model it might work

Only 1.7%? Easy fix...
Just lost 1.7%?! Easy fix... bump prices by 2% and now we are right back to making money! no problem here
I'm calling bullshit...
