quake 3 key.. is it needed ???


hello all

I'm currently running ioquake3
I have a registered copy of quake 3
when the game first starts it asks for the CD key
i have the key i've just been lazy and haven't gotten around to typing it in
the thing is if i just hit accept everything seems to work
I assume if i try and use punkbuster it won't work without entering my key.

is that the only reason you would need the key ??



thanks

Some Q3 servers still need valid keys, but most dont.

the reason you need a key is someone could just lend the game to ppl they could burn/mount it and play for free
