Steam , the English version and copy protection

[Banquo]

Hi everyone,

 

First let me say what a great community this is from all the posts I have read and that I am really looking forward to getting Black Shark

 

I have one question about purchasing the English version. I realise it has certain copy protection and please don't hijack this thread - that discussion has been done to death.

 

I have had very positive experiences of Steam and from what I have read negotiations are ongoing with regards to selling BS through Steam. (correct me if I am wrong)

 

My question is; will a potential copy of BS bought through Steam have the same copy protection as one bought through the official DCS website or will it rely on a Steam supplied anti pirate system?

 

Thanks, in advance, for any replys :)

I'm no offical, but I would say yes. Many recent high-profile games in steam have additional cp/drm-stuff. Steam's own cp is quite weak, and I doubt that it would satisfy ED.

Thanks for your answer zokier

 

I looked at some other games that use steam this morning and from what I read I have to concur with your response.

What zokier said.

 

STEAM should be seen as a online distribution platform, that's what they are best at.

 

As for your question about a possible protection in STEAM, im sure ED will inform us should there be a STEAM based version of DCS:BS or any further module.
