It stands for Digital Rights Management, where the "rights" in question translate to "not yours". When you install a game and have to type in a massive activation code before you can play it, that's DRM - it's a system designed to restrict your use of a product somehow, and you're only ever going to notice it because it annoys you or otherwise causes some sort of problem, since it never adds any positive benefits from a consumer standpoint (systems like Steam provide a lot of useful features and convenience along with the DRM so people don't mind, but the features they like aren't because of the DRM but rather in spite of it).Corporal Yakob said:This may sound stupid but whats DRM?
The SecuRom that was bundled with retail versions of The Witcher 2 was just a one-time activation with unlimited uses, so there was none of that "you get 5 installs and if you somehow use them all up it sucks to be you!" malarkey going on, but it evidently caused framerate issues for a lot of folks so I'm happy to see it chucked out the door so quickly.
