DRM & a demo

Post by nop »

Hi,
Two questions:
Is there a demo available?

Is the game available DRM free (i.e. no online activation, no Steam?). I mean legitimately, not from ... less reputable sources. ;-)

Thanks.

It has a steam requirement, i think it does, i got mine through steam, does this site's store bought versions need steam too?

Currently all versions bought from retail or digital store will require installing Steam. The DRM is only the Steam requirement, it checks that your key is valid, and for updates/achievements. Otherwise once installed you can play offline (but won't receive updates until you switch back).

I never really understand why people are so against DRM, i mean sure the 5 activations before needing to phone home, then sure bad thing, but steam or origin as a requirement is not a bad thing at all, i prefer that then a 'please activate product' or 'please call support and get a new activation key' man, i am sick of those things.
