Steam & Ubi's DRM

Dowly · 03-02-10, 04:16 AM

Anyone know how this exactly works? Aren't Steam games tied to Steam as in they are run thru Steam? How the game starts?

Normally, Steam starts the application, but in this case, does it start the DRM application which then starts the game application?

Wouldn't this use more system power (I know I know, we aren't talking about THAT much, but still, unnecessary load) and more importantly, wouldn't this open another door for the pi-arr-ates to crack it?

Any info would be appreciated.

(Yes, I'm caving in and thinking of buying it thru Steam tomorrow

)
