Red Alert 3 DRM will be 'More Lenient'
Chris Corry, producer for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 at the LA department of Electronic Arts has gotten into some details of the copy protection that will be used for the RTS sequel in a post on the EA Forums. For those hoping it would be a revolution stating that they will drop all copy protection and use that money to give you a free beer with each puchase, no such luck...
In the case of Red Alert 3 (and all PC titles coming out of EA), we will use SecuROM – the same copy protection that the EALA RTS group has used on our last three titles
Nothing new under the sun there you would think but he added some interesting detials:- We will authenticate your game online when you install and launch it the first time.
- We will never re-authenticate an installation online after the first launch. In other words, no reaching out to a central server post-install to see if you’re “allowed” to play.
- You will be able to install and play on up to five computers.
- This system means you don't have to play with the disc in your computer. Personally, I think this is a huge improvement over our previous copy protection requirements, which have always required a disk to play.
- Life happens. I know it’s unlikely, but for those unlucky few who install the game and have their machines nuked (virus, OS reinstall, major hardware upgrade, etc.) five times, EA Customer Service will be on hand to supply any additional authorizations that are warranted. This will be done on a case-by-case basis by contacting customer support.
-You can, of course, play offline without impediment or penalty.
Securom sure sucks and all, but no-cd playing is something I can only cheer upon. Now just drop the securom all together, seriously, drop it!- We will never re-authenticate an installation online after the first launch.
