Prince of Persia Has No DRM
Going the opposite way of most other publishers, Ubisoft has revealed that the retail PC version of Prince of Persia, which is to be released to stores this week, is entirely devoid of any form of DRM or copy-protection. This was disclosed by Ubisoft community manager Chris Easton.
“A lot of people complain that DRM is what forces people to pirate games but as PoP PC has no DRM we’ll see how truthful people actually are,” wrote Easton. “Not very, I imagine.”
Easton noted that only the physical retail copies of the game will be devoid of DRM.
Ubisoft is notorious for including draconian DRM in its games, including Assassins Creedfor which it was highly criticized because it had a DRM that apparently phoned home.
