Speaking at yesterday’s Wedbush Morgan Securities annual Management Access Conference, Atari founder Nolan Bushnell said that games piracy will soon be a thing of the past thanks to a new chip.
“There is a stealth encryption chip called a TPM that is going on the motherboards of most of the computers that are coming out now,” he said.
“What that says is that in the games business we will be able to encrypt with an absolutely verifiable private key in the encryption world - which is uncrackable by people on the internet and by giving away passwords - which will allow for a huge market to develop in some of the areas where piracy has been a real problem.”
Thanks, GI.

Won’t that mean you can only play games on the first machine/motherboard you install it on? So they’ll kill piracy and the PC games industry in one go if that’s the case.

Sounds hooky to me. Unless the entire PC industry adopts it it’s never going to work.

Anything with the words ’stealth’ and ‘encryption’ in it must be good.
