Oh no!  This means Putin is trying to suppress CAULDRON OF LOOTS!

[Megaman]

Putin would melt if he tried to stop it, fool.

Any word on DRM, mister Slesvig? Just remember: there's no such thing as bad DRM as long as it stops people pirates from playing the game.

I definitely think that it should have a similar DRM to Spore. But change it up a little..make it so you can activate the game on only two computers, and if you attempt to add a third it will assume you gave your code to a pirate and completely IP ban you from the game all together.

[Sensei]

So I'm curious, what would it take for me to get one of these demo codes and try out the tutorial? I'm pretty excited to see the game!

[nenjin]

Well first you have to register your email address with at least 3 gaming websites. Links to follow.

I can't wait for the spinoff CAULDRON OF LOOTSville.

I love paying money for sprites.

While its a joke frack between this and AAA marketing, is there really a difference?

Love how that thread went crazy

[Matz05]

AAA marketing is a bit more subtle.

That isnt good enough.

Obviously pirates can get beyond that, so you should ban all existing copies of the game in case a pirate is detected. Real customers will have no problems repurchasing the game.

[Dutchling]

Better ban them every other day, just in case there is a pirate playing the game undetected.

Spore had DRM? 
I clearly remember running spore on a laptop that was never  connected to the internet.

[Matz05]

Yeah, it did. Securom I think. It only would install a certain number of times, etc.
The company eventually quietly released a tool that unregistered a computer, freeing up the slot again. I think it sometimes worked!
I thought an internet connection was necessary to install the game?

Unless aliens installed artificial memories of me playing the game, it doesn't.
I VIVIDLY remember playing the game on a laptop with no internet what so ever.

[Matz05]

Then I guess it locks the slot the first time the computer connects to the Internet after that. Took enough effort to remove after I uninstalled Spore...
It should be illegal to leave your memory-hogging backdoor software in place AFTER YOU UNINSTALL THE DARN GAME!

I would like some kind of unlockable extra content, im talking day one awsomness. Like 30 will get you the game, but if you pay 20 extra you can put a code that lets you use a blue shirt or something like that, i always loved wearing blue shirts.
