Crysis Warhead DRM FAQ [Sep 18, 2008, 4:42 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
There's now a Crysis
Warhead Copy Protection FAQ on the Crymod Modding Portal addressing concerns
over the digital rights management in Crysis Warhead, Crytek's
just-released shooter (story). The document outlines the
reasoning for the copy protection, advantages this system provides (you do not
need the disc in the drive to play), states that the game will only authenticate
itself online the first time it is launched or after "significant changes" to
your system, and clarifies that the game can be authorized on five different
computers, rather than the three previously reported. It also states that Crysis
Wars, the game's multiplayer mode, does not have an authorization limit, but
does require a one-time online activation. The FAQ begins with a statement from
Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, that reads in part: "We realize that copy protection and
piracy is a very emotional and hotly debated topic. It is very hard to find a
solution that fits both our needs. We need to make an effort to limit piracy but
we do not want to limit the experience of our fans."
I couldn't believe they put "do not lend" Never seen that on a music cd, album or console game. I am getting close to joining the ban EA crowd. The game is beautiful, though.Yeah? Hey good for them. They might as well put "do not buy" on all future ones because that's exactly what's going to fucking happen.

Is it just me, or when a company releases games with such bullshit DRM it makes me want to pirate the game MORE?

There it is. Pass...

Actually it's quite easy. Remove DRM.
The only way EA is going to get it through their thick greedy skulls is if gamers keep pounding them about DRM. Make them hurt financially. They will eventual cower.

"I used to fence at Bel-Air Academy." "Oh, really? How much do you think we could get for that stereo?"
Printed on the disc. What the fuck is that all about. I buy a magazine and it says on the cover " do not lend this magazine"?? I'll lend it to whoever the fuck I want to.EA owns your fucking ass and they just wanna make sure you don't forget. That's all.
Aside from that comment the DRM didnt bother me with regards to activation

I'm more impressed by the fact that this game had absolutely no zero-day piracy at all.
It was actually released and cracked pre-retail, making minus-zero day

guess again, some dude named paul last name .dll has been compromised.
DRM does nothing to stop piracy.
Unlimited installations on 5 different machines? No installation limits at all on Crysis Wars?
Whatever, doesn't affect my setup in the slightest.

Who the hell are those people and why do they so willingly accept this form of DRM? Don't they realize that they're making PC gaming worse for all of us?
crymod.com is a site for fanboys. Do NOT expect any common sense there. These people will sell their grandmothers soul to play this game.
the FAQ thread at crymod.com is just ridiculous. Who the hell are those people and why do they so willingly accept this form of DRM? Don't they realize that they're making PC gaming worse for all of us?
We need to make an effort to limit piracy but we do not want to limit the experience of our fans.
A Steam exclusive would fit both our needs nicely. Install limits only fit yours.
I'm going on Steam now and pay.
enoy the game.
the activation limits are with the Steam version too.
Yes this applies to the Steam (and all other online distributed) version(s) as well.

"We realize that copy protection and piracy is a very emotional and hotly debated topic. Also, a number of you have asked me to suck various parts of your bodies. It is very hard to find a solution that fits both our needs.
Fixed...

Check your torrent sites. The game is already on torrents and already cracked, slightly earlier than the in store date.
Securom DRM has failed, again. It's only success will be in pissing off some people and somewhat lessening "casual" piracy.

Limited # of installs does absolutely nothing to limit piracy, nothing at all.
Already available with a working crack. Yes, this will limit piracy very much ... Cervat, just stop talking at all!
