Prince Of Persia was one of the Best Action Adventure Last Gen. The new one may be good or bad. But like some of the above said, i will Buy this game to SUPPORT one of the Oldest and Greatest Franchises around – Prince Of Persia.

It’s great that they removed the DRM for PoP but they left the cost in. It’s priced as if they’d spent money on copy protecting it. I guess it’s just a lack of faith… they figure the price has to stay high to make up for the increased piracy resulting from not having the DRM on it.
Either way hope gamers support them, here’s to hassle free software.

What these punks fail to understand is DRM does not fit into the business model.

They design these DRM protocols thinking they have created the worlds best DRM, untill they get their lunch eaten for them.

Back to business school me thinks!….

No DRM? Okay! Now we’re talking. I’m going to be buying this game, but after xmas, when I know how much money I really have, after being gouged for buying gifts for family/friends.

Please make sure Ubisoft is aware that this customer is one that supports DRM-Free, and if it is an excellent title like PoP, then a sale has been made!

After all of the bullshit with securom, star force (which buried at least 2 of my disc drives), and the other “protection” that’s out there, it’s nice to see a company that I actually like stepping forward (although tentatively) with DRM-Free.

The key to stopping people from downloading the game is to make it SO LARGE (with video cutscenes, music, and other random junk), that downloading will either A) take too long, B) use up tons of bandwidth, or C) force people who want to see the FMV cutscenes to buy the game.

I wonder, if people say I pirate because “I want to test the game, see how it is before I buy;” well what if they come out with a decent demo? Will you still pirate?

I did buy it, based off of the no DRM advertisement.

[...] even though they’ve been pirating for longer than DRM has been around. I had to go find it, but HERE’s an article that I thought is relevant. Take note of the comments by Chris Easton, a community [...]
