EA Releasing DRM Free Games On Steam

Apparently EA is listening to outcry against DRM, and SecuROM in particular. EA recently made a deal with Valve to release some titles on Steam, games that will not contain EA DRM protection. Valve will rely on its own Steam protection to combat any piracy associated with the EA games.

One game in particular that many gamers might appreciate being released on Steam is Spore, a game that was ruined partly by DRM protection know as SecuROM. A limited number of installs is one of the many complaints from Spore players. MaxisCactus, a Maxis community manager, confirmed that Spore will not contain SecuROM when released on Steam.

The EA games releasing on Steam will include:- Spore
- Spore Creepy & Cute Parts Pack
- Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
- Mass Effect
- Need for Speed Undercover
- EA SPORTS FIFA Manager 2009
- Mirror’s Edge
- Command & Conquer Red Alert 3
- Dead Space
