We often have the case here of gaming magazines coming with olde, but fuull games.
And very often they are without any DRM.
I'm currently buying these versions exclusively now.
Other versions include the "Software Pyramide" versions, which are *sometimes* without DRM, but sometimes they re. The problem is : One cannot know it before opening up and actully playing the game ...
In some rare cases I received an DRM-less .exe file from developers after I had *politely* asked for removal of DRM. But that was rare.
