The developer behind The Witcher 2 has said that DRM technology is pointless, and that it should probably be abandoned.
"In my almost 20 years in the industry, I have not seen DRM that really worked (i.e. did not complicate the life of the legal gamer and at the same time protect the game),” one exec said of DRM technology.“We have seen a lot of different protections, but there are only two ways you can go: Either you use light DRM, which is cracked in no time and is not a major pain for the end-user, or you go the hard way and try to super-protect the game.”
"Yes, it is then hard to crack, but you start messing with the operation system, the game runs much slower and - for a group of legal gamers - it will not run at all. None of these solutions really work, so why not abandon it altogether?"
The Witcher 2 for Xbox is currently in development, after getting rave reviews and huge sales on the PC.
