The game will have disc-based copy protection – there is a Serial Code just like The Sims 2. To play the game there will not be any online authentication needed. We feel like this is a good, time-proven solution that makes it easy for you to play the game without DRM methods that feel overly invasive or leave you concerned about authorization server access in the distant future.
Wow, things are definitely changing.
My apologies, I make the distinction between copy protection (physical, disk-based like Sims 3) and DRM (online activation, etc).
Most usually take them to be the same thing, but it's not really. Red Alert 3 had DRM with activations and such (but no disk check, if I remember correctly). Fallout 3 didn't have DRM, but had copy protection (disk check).
Not even close. I'm in the biggest majority of all, those who didn't buy the game due to a complete lack of interest in it. That's the vast majority of the human race.
Touchy.
I suppose the definitions are blurred during discussion. Considering your definition of DRM, then you are correct, it doesn't have it. Personally I bundle them all under the same term and label the online activations and install limits as just bad forms of DRM.
I will always prefer online activation to CD checks, personally. Since I buy most of my games digitally though, never have to worry bout CD checks.
