By james_fudge

JoWooD Entertainment and DreamCatcher Interactive announced some good news this morning for PC gamers that do not like sketchy digital rights management schemes: ArcaniA – Gothic 4 will use an internet activation system that requires registration of the game one time. ArcaniA – Gothic 4 can be installed on an unlimited number of PCs as well. Further, the game can be played on up to three PCs at a time and does not require the original disc in the drive or a constant internet connection.

"Digital Rights Management as a module of the digital services has always been a tightrope walk between user friendliness and security of the product. ArcaniA – Gothic 4 is different here" explains Clemens Schneidhofer, JoWooD Entertainment. "With Arcania – Gothic 4 we deliver a high-quality product gamers will enjoy playing for hours. This joy and fun should not be disturbed by intrusive copy protection measures. So SecuROM is the perfect solution for us because it offers the necessary security and at the same time it fulfills our high expectations concerning costumer-friendliness." Read More
