RadonGOG: That´s about how you define DRM. If you got the "closest"/ "hardest" definition, it´s EVERY form of restricting usage of a game...
And really, everybody who´d try to sell a game with DiskProtection as a DRM-free game would be shitstormed to hell...
Grargar: jamyskis has already said what the thread is all about in the first post: And really, everybody who´d try to sell a game with DiskProtection as a DRM-free game would be shitstormed to hell...
"To avoid pissing contests about the definition of DRM-free, I'll lay it out here and now:
DRM-free for the purposes of this list is defined as a game that does not require any form of phoning home (for example by means of a internet connection or telephone call) for single-player gaming. Games that are inherently online multiplayer will not be included. Disc-based copy protection and locally authenticated keys do not count as DRM. Having to register for patches does not count as DRM, unless the game cannot be played without the patch."
Otherwise, many games in this list would be invalid (like Overlord 2 which uses SecuROM). The idea is that many retail games, 2008 and onwards, are resorting to online authentication nowadays and this list points out what games don't require it. Maybe the title is misleading, but for that, you'll have to complain to jamyskis. :P
Anyways, @jamyskis: Wouldn´t it be somehow clever to simply write in brackets whether the game needs or doesn´t have DIskDRM? Intel can collected easyly and would avoid such problems...
