Stardock announces Paradox Interactive has selected Stardock's GOO (Game Object Obfuscation) technology as the DRM for Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim, the real-time strategy game in development at 1C:Ino-Co, and will be using GOO to protect other titles going forward. The Impulse Website has more details on GOO, and here are a couple of portions of the announcement:

Announced by Stardock earlier this year, GOO is a new technology that developers can use to protect their game executable.

Brad Wardell, CEO at Stardock, continued, “Stardock has been outspoken in advocating solutions that protect consumer’s rights. At the same time, we also recognize that many publishers are going to seek to protect their properties via some type of DRM solution. Our goal in developing GOO was to find a middle-ground solution, a technology that would treat consumers not as criminals, but instead with respect. It is great getting feedback from partners like Paradox that we have succeeded in our goal.”
