Reply to Sins v 1.18 and Entrenchment 1.04 - New Information Released in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="MalakieUSN" reply="12" id="2173660"] Quoting Vespucci, reply 6What's so bad about installing impulse? Hell, it dl'd and installed 1.16 and I didn't even know there was a 1.16 until I saw the title of this thread. The problem is that some people do not have internet access or very limited access. The problem also comes into play that many of us do not want to be forced to end up tied to requiring the use of internet just to use and play

[quote who="Destraex" reply="4" id="2113220"]They stated in the BETA phase that that their would be no protection on the entrenchment game.... so don't worry. They are treating gamers well.

One of us doesn't know what DRM is highlander. It's my understanding that Digital Rights Management is an access control technology, which has the purpose of of limiting usage of digital media. If the only "legal" way of installing entrenchment is by logging in to the Impulse network, to authenticate yourself as an owner of the product then Entrenchment has DRM and that DRM is Impulse. Here are some restrictions/limitations imposed on Entrenchment by the Impulse DRM:

This is a quick post, hopefully to be seen by the eyes of Stardock employees. I wont buy Entrenchment if the only way I can install it is through Impulse. Impulse is DRM. It stops you from installing Impulse-only titles without logging onto the Impulse network. It's my understanding that it's illegal to install SoaSO: Entrenchment any other way than via Impulse. I buy games regularly, but I don't buy games that contain these restrictions. Just as I p
