The digital version work disc-free, but still uses SecuROM and requires online activation to play. What GTA IV for Windows actually requires: Online activation "once per Windows account per machine" or if you change "any two 'major' components on your PC." Stay within those parameters and you can uninstall or reinstall the game as many times as you like per the retail version. Fallout 3 which also uses SecuROM has its share of Amazon DRM naysayers. As of December 1, Spore is still ticking along at one-and-a-half stars based on 3,158 customer reviews. Another bunch flooded Amazon shortly after Spore dropped in early September to lash the game with a one-star rating in protest of its "restrictive" DRM scheme. One group filed a class action suit against Electronic Arts in September over SecuROM's integration with Spore. What we do know is that a vocal constituent of gamers despise protection measures for reasons that range from game-breaking drive incompatibilities to claims that the copy protection mechanism actually crippled their disc drives. Whether copy protection does or doesn't "protect the integrity" of someone's game is another debatable point, and if anyone's got evidence, they're not sharing.
