Thought Dust is coming out tomorrow? My steam is saying 25th.
1 day and 14 hours, that would technically unlock on the 25th.
We need Noogy in here ASAP.
What's the DRM situation on the two Batman games? Both nominally use GFWL and Arkham City apparently also uses SecuROM, but I thought I read that they had been patched out and Steamworks added and both have Steamworks achievements listed?
We were just speculating that companies might be patching out GFWL.
Both Bioshock 2 and Arkham Asylum have put up Steam Achievements recently, but not activated them as of yet.
Too GFWL games from two separate companies. Couple that with Halo 2's June shutoff date, and companies dropping the DRM entirely, including Microsoft, and you have an interesting narrative.
What's so bad about securom?
I'm curious, don't know why this DRM is more hated than the others
Its pretty bad.
It installs itself in your computer without your permission and scans your hardware, software, and registry.
It loads up whenever you boot up your computer, slows down processes, and is very difficult to properly remove (it generally doesn't uninstall with the game).
