FarCry2 ships with Securom DRM

[rjk]

so thats limited installs for everyone...

i understand why they do it - but it just causes headaches
if i install this and it doesnt clash with something i will eat my hat

sorry if its old news - i just think they should think of a new way to prevent piracy rather than making the installation process of a game into a headache for players

anyone else feel put off / put out by DRM on games?
thoughts?

Buy game + download cracked exe
It's the way it has to be...

daft isnt it - you buy a legal copy and have to use an illegal crack to get it working - flatoutUC did that to me - was not happy

if anything drm restrictions cause us 'tech savvy' [thanks cliffyB] pc gamers to use pirate cracks on our legit games to get round the one thing that they are trying to prevent!

the irony

I am actually liking steam more and more. It even has the benefit of my not being able to lose the disc

what if you lose your login details though!!

Shame about the steam prices, thats the only downfall.

agreed - if they localised steam and made the currency/prices inkeeping with say that of major games etailers then they would easily make more money

if steam did that i dont think we would see a pc game on a shop shelf again!

I have mine tattooed on my penis for just such an occasion

No mention of the DRM system at all. So if I bought it from here and then chose not to agree to the T&C then I'm screwed.

i would love to see farcry running on that card, i had one for a while as a stopgap and it was SHAMBOLIC

it would benefit joe public a lot if there was some kind of drm logo or something put onto the game boxes

like the elspa age rating system - its easily recognisable

if drm systems had a logo on the box/online listing then buyers would be aware
