No Online DRM in Sim 3 [Mar 27, 2009, 07:59 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Sims 3 Website has word the controversial online features of the SecuROM
digital rights management system will not be used for the upcoming release of
The Sims 3, saying the lifestyle simulation sequel will instead use a serial
key-based system with no online authentication. According to EA's humble Rod
Humble: "We feel like this is a good, time-proven solution that makes it easy
for you to play the game without DRM methods that feel overly invasive or leave
you concerned about authorization server access in the distant future."
Eurogamer asked if this was a trend for other future games and were told by
an EA spokesperson: "We are just looking at this solution for The Sims 3 at the
moment."
Obviously less DRM is better than more DRM, but NO DRM is best of all. But lets give them the benefit of the doubt shall we?
Anyway I wasnt ranting against EA as much as against you personally Verno, because in every thread about EA you show up as its shinning white knight. EA doesnt need a shining white knight (no Multi-billion dollar corporation does). EA's actions speak for themselves, any attempt to glorify them or raise them upon high is detestable fanboism and asskissing.
