_ Breakin' it down: Five activations (up from three it initially
launched with); unlimited installs on five machines if activation token
doesn't kick up a fuss following hardware changes; DVD not required in
drive post-activation; one authentication at first launch;
single-player fully playable offline following one-time online
activation; no de-authentication tool available, though EA Support will
help out on a case-by-case basis; Steam-Securom copy protection to be
detailed tomorrow.
Our passion is making quality
games. We put our heart and soul in every game and hope that our fans
will enjoy them as well. For years, Crytek fans have been passionately
supportive of our efforts and we appreciate all of your dedication.We
realize that copy protection and piracy is a very emotional and hotly
debated topic. It is very hard to find a solution that fits both our
needs. We need to make an effort to limit piracy but we do not want to
limit the experience of our fans.
Wars uses online
authentication and allows up to five activations. This gives you the
opportunity to install the game as many times as you want on five
different machines.
We also know that multiplayer gamers have
different needs, so Crysis Wars does not have an activation limit, but
requires the game to be unlocked online once you start the game for the
first time. Afterwards it will be possible to play in LAN without any
online connection. The CD-key is only required when playing online.
I
sincerely hope that you will enjoy playing Wars as much as we
enjoyed making it. We are very proud of it. Our community is the main
reason we make games. If there is something you feel we could improve,
please tell us what and why and we will do our best to listen to you.
