Dead Island may use Steamworks only on Steam but in other place not.

Ok, so I've read recently that Witcher 2 is DRM-Free only on GOG.com (and probably retail). I checked and found out that GamersGate & Impulse versions both have SecuROM!!! WTF is this crap CD Projekt? Where's your loyal altitude to gamers? If you wanna people buy your game via GOG then you probably should make it GOG exclusive. P.S. There's also no "DRM-Free" sign on D2D. P.P.S. The game is still "DRM-Free" on GamesPlanet but probably it's an outdated info.
Lamest announce from the big company ever. The game is utter crap and it'll fail 100%.
I've played ACII a lot and this DRM hasn't been preventing from playing the game. I've had more problems with SecuROM in GTA IV.
[quote]4. When the users hate the DRM, they rate games into oblivion no matter what they think of the game itself. Reviews don't tend to do that.[/quote] This is stupid. Assassin's Creed 2 is almost masterpiece in gaming's world. But these kids with unknown stupid principles rate this game very low. That's why I don't trust any reviews.

You mean you're one of those who complained about the UBI-DRM so they relent and remove it.....now even STEAM is a problem for you? Sheesh.....guess it's true......some people are NEVER satisfied. I and not one single one of the 30+ in my gaming-community have EVER had an issue with STEAM offli
Haven't seen worse game this year than this (excl. Dantes Inferno). 100% Console port with 2006 graphics and silly gameplay. I'm surprised controls are OK on keyboard though.
You mean Sometimes-working-half-broken-offline mode?
And what so special about this game? Looks like utter sh*t and GeOW clone. Do not buy a console for this because you'll regret in the first 10 minutes.
No buy for me. Bye bye 2K with you stupid deals. Double no buy because of PS3 exclusive DLC.
I can stand of them, just I ain't a fan of their RPGs (and I hate Mass Effect). Looking forward to The Old Republic, though.
I think this game and it's DRM is fully up to CD Projekt. In the worst case, a t least Eastern European version (which is published by CD Projekt) will be without DRM.
Don't worry about Witcher 2, CD Projekt made it clear: http://elder-geek.com/2010/06/cd-projekt-red-speaks-out-against-drm-rumors/
With plenty of great strategy and RPG games we don't need StarCraft and Diablo anymore. Blizzard was a great company back in 1996-2000. Now it was consumed by Activision.
It's far more complicated this time. Namco is just a publisher and only in Western/Northern Europe, Oceania, Africa and Asia. I hope CD Projekt decides things like this, not Atari or Namco.
Let's wait till the release. It would be ridiculous if Europe an AU would have this DRM but NA not.
Want to say a bit about 2 well-known "PC" companies. Blizzard was a great PC company in 1997-2000 but not now. They aren't supporting PC gaming anymore. SCII was cut into 3 pieces - each one costs $60 (like console games) and you have to pay every month/year to play SINGLE PLAYER (like MMO) (as far as I know. I predict same crap for Diablo III. IMO PC gaming can live without these new Blizzard titles. Valve turned into Microsoft way. They're making truly PC games for the
[quote]I'm not so convinced about that... Steam offline mode has never worked for me and still doesn't. If I try to open Steam with no internet, it hangs on the 'updating' screen and never actually opens. If my internet goes down without prior warning I basically can't play any of my steam games and that's a huge downside.[/quote] For over a year I had this problem and still have some problems with running Steam in offline mode properly. In this case Steam worse than
