    So far they've released 5 games and are taking pre-orders for Dragon Age, but it looks like they're all still saddled with some version of Securom. I was kinda hoping they would try to go without it seeing as they've had success with just the disk check version on Sims 3 or maybe using Impulse GOO.

    Cool. It is unfortunate that they brought DRM tech with them though.

    I agree with the DRM issue. I thought Stardock's initial stance of being anti-DRM was great and thus my support of their DLC system. We'll see how it plays out over the next while. Nonetheless I will likely be purchasing DA via Impulse when released. :)
