LGP Introduces Linux Game Copy Protection
,----[ Quote ]
| For seven years Linux Game Publishing has been selling their Linux-ported
| games with no form of copy protection on their CD/DVDs, but beginning with
| their forthcoming port of Sacred: Gold that will be changed. Linux Game
| Publishing has developed their own Internet-based game copy protection system
| for Linux, and in this article we have more details on this scheme as well as
| their motives behind this work.

Mass Effect DRM goes too far
,----[ Quote ]
| PC GAMERS WHO have had their fill of online activation headaches with Windows
| will be pretty miffed to hear the latest anti-piracy scheme being dreamed up
| by top games publishers.
|
| In a post on Bioware's forums, producer Derek French has confirmed that two
| of the biggest PC titles of the year - Will Wright's Spore and the Xbox 360
| conversion of Mass Effect - will require ongoing, rolling 10-day activation
| over the internet.
