Publishers will always add some form of anti-piracy to their games as it's somewhat easy to pirate games on the PC. I can understand that, I wouldn't want people to steal my product I worked hard for and make me lose money.

This form of DRM, imo is what I call "invisible." Sure, I have to activate it once or twice (I rarely re-format unless I'm installing a new mobo or a new OS) and I mostly keep all my games installed at once. Once I activate the game, I don't have to bother with it for some time, which is nice.

I'd honestly prefer this to a disk check, but then again, I did buy it digitally.


Steam is already a form of DRM. Steam + Securom = two forms of DRM together. One DRM is honestly enough.

I'm probably gonna wind up waiting until either...
1.Some other digital distributor puts DKS on sale so I only have to deal w/ just Securom DRM;
2.OR DKS gets a USA retail release and I can get it on sale so I only have to deal w/ Securom;
3.OR DKS on Steam gets cheap enough to the point that I won't even care anymore
4.OR DKS on Steam gets its Securom DRM removed.
