Shacknews reports that the price cuts of the Steam holiday sale caused a surge in game purchases. As a result a number of people on the Steam forums complained that the DRM activation servers for both games were causing problems with activation for first time players. However those issues have now apparently been resolved. While many games distributed by Steam have no third party DRM a number of other titles still use their retail DRM set-up. It looks like more and more publishers will use Steam as their DRM protection only such as THQ's PC port of Saints Row 2.

Hey John, Shouldn't it be DRM Activation rather than DRM Activision? :P
Peace Out!
