Mass Effect 2PC details havedropped today, bringing somewhat decent news all round. Both the system requirements and the DRM situation have been revealed today, so those of you that use the word “rig” without any shred of shame and have a love for all things BioWare are in for a treat.
The system requirements are after the jump, but it’s the DRM situation that is most pleasant. We all know that Electronic Arts has a ludicrously huge bonk-on for SecuROM and loads the glorified malware onto almost everything it ships. Well, it seems thatMass Effect 2will not be shipping with the same restrictive crap as last time and instead take a cue fromDragon Age. A simple disc check will be required to activate the game, and you’re all set!
This is of course lovely news for PC users who are sick of this DRM nonsense, a fad that slowly seems to be dying out now that publishers are realizing that is doesn’t stop piracy, butdoesmanage to piss off paying customers. Hopefully the likes of SecuROM can be eradicated in due course, especially if such supporters as EA are shying away from it.
