Is this the start of the end of DRM

Damn, I personally love DRM.

Anything that keeps PC gaming alive and makes thieves' lives even slightly more difficult, basically.

so why do you love DRM?
DRM doesn't make Thieves lives harder, it just makes normal paying customers lives harder!

I don't even know which of my titles have DRM and which do not. It has never caused me any grief at all.

My cousin copies games, and if those games have DRM, he doesn't know how to do it.


Therefore I know it works, and I know it causes me precisely no grief. As for the 'But I want to install it on 3 desktops and 6 laptops and play them all simultaneously'. Oh shut up ..

That's not what people are saying at all. I have a laptop, and I like to take it with me. What if I want to play Settle... Oh wait, permanent connection needed.

Your cousin is a complete and utter retard then no other way to put it, every single major game torrent has a very simple guide to cracking the game that generally involves no more than copying a file from one folder to another
 
Sounds like BS.

Every disc has copy protection, so you can't just whack it in Nero and click "Copy", therefore he'd never even be able to copy the games without DRM, if he couldn't crack that.

Oh, yes, I know.. he has AnyDVD HD, but can't use BitTorrent. Pull the other one :p
 
Nice to see a games developer treating their customers with respect and not jumping on the 'all pc gamers are pirates' bandwagon (Ubisoft you fools!).

I fully intended buying Witcher 2 anyway as I really enjoyed The Witcher, but now i've read this I'm going to buy it even more.:confused: Well you know what I mean, I hope.:)

he has issues with copy and paste, as that about as hard as it gets with DRM bypasses
 
What is the story here?

They are enforcing a one time online activation which is pretty much the norm nowadays.

"With a lot of protections you have to be online," explained CEO Marcin Iwiński. "You have to be connected constantly or you cannot play.

LOL - That is not true for the majority of games.

Hype city.
 
They must be very naive to imagine it will be treated with respect by the pirates who will steal anything & everything then roll out some BS excuse from their XYZ playbook of 1001 excuses for piracy! LOL

If u took the time to read the entire piece u will understand that there is only the 1 off connection to a server required at the initial install. All other DRM such as continuous connection and the even more popular SecuROM have been stripped. You wont get many games these days with that level of DRM removed.

Are you so naive to call this hype and ignore what has become the norm up to now such as

Always connected to play
SecuROM
Limited Installations even on the same PC

Is it a step fwd = Yes

Yeah thats totally what the point of this was :rolleyes: Maybe they should ship it with GFWL?
 
I hate DRM and security on most pc games, they always get cracked anyway. The worst for me was Far Cry 2, i activated it a couple of times as I was having problems with pc at the time (had to reformat a few times), when i eventually got everything fixed and up and running Far Cry 2 would not reactivate, apparently i did not deactivate it correctly which I couldnt because of the format, to this day i still cannot activate my Far Cry 2 and Ubisoft support keeps dismissing my emails. solution for me was no cd crack.

In my opinion protection such as DRM is more an inconvenience then anything, and as I said people still bypass it all and crack them anyway, so why punish people who buy the games i dont know
