But what about gamers who aren’t online, or who are stuck with rough, unreliable internet connections? Sega’s got that covered, too.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because companies like EA and Take-Two already use one-time, limited-use online activation systems. Acknowledging that the Uniloc servers won’t be around forever, Sega has also promised to release an “unprotected patch” for the game in the future which will remove all DRM and activation requirements. Activation keys included with each copy of the game will be good for up to five unique systems, allowing users to play on their home PC, their laptop, at work and so forth, and activations can be deactivated for reuse in the future. Alpha Protocol publisher Sega seems to have recognized the truth in that, and is doing its best to get the word out about the game’s DRM, how it works and why it’s not nearly as bad as some of the stuff out there.Īlpha Protocol will use the Uniloc: SoftAnchor system and require a one-time online activation. With Obsidian’s new RPG Alpha Protocol less than a month away, Sega has laid out the details about the game’s DRM, which will require a one-time online activation but also offers an option for gamers who aren’t on the internet.ĭigital rights management is a fact of life for PC gamers, more often than not one they’d rather not have to put up with.
