I thought we were past the days of Securom! Why not release it beautiful and DRM-free?

[Bloodr0se]

Isn't that a non-Steam version?

Rising Star have never particularly been up with the times anyway. :)

[im sorry goingcrazy69]

Well ♥♥♥♥, I really hope this isn't used on the Steam version. Real easy to lose a load of customers pulling things like Securom.

Shame, will be giving it a miss then.

[Scorn]

Any word on this from RSG? This would be a dealbreaker for me if it's also going to be in the steam version.

more like a miss print over at Gamersgate.

Indeed, but then that would involve it not being on Steam either...

I am just happy the bloody game is coming out full stop.

In a world where nine games out of ten are first person call of battlefields its nice to have something a little different to play.

If this wil have Securom so -1 buyer, sorry guys..

[YouNa$ty]

Great game or not. If it's gonna have this POS called Securom on it then they better be giving me a refund.

Steam has many games that have no drm whatsoever,several games in my collection can be played by simply using the .exe file in the install folder and they don´t even need the client to be open.

Sadly it´s something that most people are not aware of but yes,there´s plenty of drm free games on steam,here´s an incomplete list.[www.gog.com]

In the end what this means is that all games that have any sort of drm on steam(inclding the steam client itself) have it because of the developer/publisher,not valve.

Doubt that many developers would enforce DRM, it's usually the business part of the video game industry that is completely detached from reality, where either you have DRM or you don't have DRM - your game is gonna get cracked in minutes so it feels like someone just tells the suits "you have to choose: put on DRM or your game is available to everyone for free".

I really wish that Rising Star Games were a bit more active in the discussion forums.

[Nillansan]

I have inquired about DRM via Twitter (https://twitter.com/RisingStarGames), I hope that I hear back from them soon enough.

Saves me $25 if true.

Technically a lot of those aren't DRM-free as they actually use some sort of third party DRM like GFWL.
