DRM questions

@boatrigm,
I should be getting the full version any day now. When I first saw the price (before playing the demo) I thought, wow, that's almost the price of a AAA title. But after playing the demo (I think I've played it for around 60 hours all total) I realized that I enjoyed the demo more than most full AAA tiles I've played which is why I forked over the cash. I'm really glad I did.

As for DRM, well that's something of a complex subject as I mentioned above. I think @ibol would be more reasonable than most to make allowances here and there wherever it would really be a hindrance to someone playing the game.

I made the mistake of objecting when really, I am a corner case to the extreme. I probably should have waited until I found the DRM to be problematic (if that would actually happen) and found no other solution. And I suppose for the time being that is going to determine its future in the game. If most players really can get by without more than three unique activations then it will likely remain. If that ends up being more trouble than it's worth, then the developer would likely revisit just as he would with game balance issues. In the short time I've been involved with playing I've found @ibol to be quite responsive so there's that to consider also.

I'm guessing the download version and cd version both use DRM?

I will have some more time this weekend for playing so I may end up buying it then.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi boatrigm,

Yes, both versions ask you to enter your Activation Key first time you play.

Hope you get it. I think you will enjoy it. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive so far.

Happy Gaming!

I did end up ordering the download version. Very fun game!

I did have a weird DRM issue where I registered the game and then the next day I had to register a second time to continue playing my saved game. The only thing I did was power down the system over night.

I haven't heard of that happening before? Let's see what ibol has to say about it. Glad, you like the game!
