What I don't think people understand is the cultural and legal issue this causes. Japan has lots of games like this and no one cares. In the US, its basically dooming your game to include this, as the majority of gamers will drop you if you have a DRM that actually interferes with their computer. In Europe, its actually illegal in some countries, and where its not the attitude is largely the same as the US.

Basically including PC scanning would make this a JP only game, which would absolutely gut their bottom line. Yoshi-P is many things. Stupid isn't one of them.
