No more nazi copy protection for Mass Effect PC
Or then again, maybe not.
Nazi copy protection scheme dropped, one time online authentication, no cd required in drive to play, reauthenticate when installing official mods.
"There has been a lot of discussion in the past few days on how the
security requirements for Mass Effect for PC will work. BioWare, a
division of EA, wants to let fans know that Mass Effect will not
require 10- day periodic re-authentication.
BioWare
has always listened very closely to its fans and we made this decision
to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience to them. To
all the fans including our many friends in the armed services and
internationally who expressed concerns that they would not be able
re-authenticate as often as required, EA and BioWare want you to know
that your feedback is important to us.
The solution being
implemented for Mass Effect for the PC changes copy protection from
being key disc based, which requires authentication every time you play
the game by requiring a disc in the drive, to a one time online
authentication.
This system has an added benefit of allowing players to seamlessly play the game without needing the DVD in the drive. "
