Or, at least, no nasty invasive DRM that makes half your user-base scream at you. According to this article in GamesIndustry.biz, Sims series’ executive producer Rod Humble has stated on the Sims 3 website that no online authentication will be needed…only CD-key copy protection. No limit on the number of computers is mentioned, so one can assume that no limit will exist. Considering EA’s insistence of the need for this type of DRM for Spore to protect against piracy, that’s a bit of a turnaround.

Weeeell. It seems that when a whole bunch of gamers stand up and shout for their rights, they get heard. Fancy that.

 

Short episode this time. Just me, doing a tour through the GameHouse Studios and completes my review of Spore by EA.
