1C Company games to be released DRM free in the US


It's one of the biggest issues in PC games; trying to keep titles from being pirated. While some companies use DRM solutions to "protect" their games from pirates some gamers feel such features actually treat real customers like criminals.

Today 1C Company and Aspyr release Men of War, the first of five games that will ship to stores in the US under their publishing agreement over the next few months. In their press release today announcing that Men of War is now shipping 1C Company announced that the WWII RTS game will not have any DRM solutions. Indeed the other four games being released in the agreement (Death Track: Resurrection, Cryostasis, Necrovision, and 4X4 Hummer) wlll all ship to stores DRM free.
