After the debacle that was Spore’s DRM, Bethesda has decided to ease fears about what will happed with the PC version of Fallout 3. Basically, there won’t be any. The DRM will be “… similar to what we did for Oblivion” stated Pete Hines. He also makes an interesting point about another way PC pirates cost the company money and make it harder on legitimate users:
“… you will never win the argument that I’m not having to provide tech support for those folks. Because I know for a fact that we are. We catch those folks all the time, where we’re providing support for somebody who turns out didn’t actually pay for the game and just downloaded a copy.”
The interview also delves into other areas of Fallout 3, including the Australian rating requirements, patches post-launch, and digital delivery via Steam.
