Remember all the fuss that Electronic Arts caused when it started shackling its PC games with
ire-inducing -- and
ineffective -- SecuROM DRM? It looks like BioWare was paying attention, as the company has
announced that the EA published
Dragon Age: Origins will not ship with the much maligned copy protection.
BioWare's Chris Priestly stated on the
Dragon Age forums that the game will rely on a simple disc check for copy protection and will not require any kind of online authentication. There is still no word on whether or not the upcoming
pen-and-paper version will include any sort of anti-Xerox measures.
