Maxis VP Patrick Buechner sent out a press release to media members stating that Spore’s DRM would be quite reasonable - and for once, I agree. In fact, it’s pretty good. The way the DRM functions is as such:
- We (Maxis) authenticate your game online when you install and launch it the first
time. - We’ll re-authenticate when a player uses online features, downloads new
content or a patch for their game. - The new system means you don’t have to play with the disc in your computer. And if you are like me, always losing discs, this will be a huge benefit.
- You’ll still be able to install and play on multiple computers.
- You can play offline.
Very nice. Unlike Mass Effect’s demands.
