No Online DRM in Sim 3 [Mar 27, 2009, 08:59 am ET] – 35 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."
