If it's bypassed in the first week, sure. They've said in interviews, they tend not to care about people that bypass 6-month-old games since most sales come in the first week. It's even baffling to them people would pay for the software license after a long time (not that they're going to refuse free money). As long as hackers take a bit of time to achieve a crack, they've done their job.
