Far Cry 2 DRM Confirmed

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Albeit that this is WAY more lenient than Spore's DRM - it's still invasive DRM.

I should have ****ing waited before I paid off my pre-order. (; _ <<<< I am required to use this "smiley".

Won't play it.

It's not only against used games sale. You can't even borrow a game to a friend, if you don't want to loose a precious install.

The whole Call EA thing to get more spore installs: not only is the hotline not free. I've read somewhere, that you must provide proof to EA that you bought the game aswell.

SecuROM, eh? To the Pirate-mobile, then. If that's what it takes to get a game to not cock-up on me, then so be it.

 

[Chaos Marine]

Meh, I'll buy the game and crack it and not care.

 

[Volucer]

On the bright side it's not the most intrusive/disruptive DRM I've seen. And it's only another week until it comes out.

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT IT.. it has so many mistakes in it

Enjoy it while you can, DRM is going to work it's way to consoles soon. Not to fight piracy, but to fight used games!

How would console DRM work?

The idea of DRM is a good one, I've said that before. But the way EA went about it was terrible. I think that Ubisoft are on the right track to making a workable DRM that isn't universally hated by gamers everywhere.
