Seeing as Sega's not likely to be selling many new copies of Alpha Protocol two years after its release, this is an incredibly reasonable idea. More importantly, they're planning to release a patch for the game "around 18-24 months after release" that will turn off DRM altogether. A proficient younger agent forged out by his authorities, Thorton is the one one with the data wanted to cease an impending worldwide disaster. While Sega's form of DRM still has some restrictions, you can deactivate from any computer you're currently activated on at any time. Loyalty carries a worth and nobody is aware of this greater than agent Michael Thorton. This is as opposed to Ubi's DRM, which allows you to play your games on any PC but forces you to be connected to the Internet at all times while playing. Luckily other publishers seem to be taking note, as Sega has clarified exactly how they'll be avoiding DRM problems with their upcoming action-RPG Alpha Protocol.Īccording to an extensive FAQ on the Alpha Protocol forums (via Big Download), the game will require online activation when you install, but after that you'll be able to play the game freely on up to five PCs. PC gamers have targeted Ubisoft with a lot of well-deserved anger over their recent DRM for purchased games.
