Systeemeisen Saints Row 2 bekend, activatie via Steam

Misan
Uitgever THQ heeft laten weten dat de activatie van de PC versie van Saints Row 2 via Steam zal verlopen. Ook zijn de systeemeisen bekend gemaakt van de game. De community manager van de Saints Row forums geeft het volgende aan:

"The game you are purchasing is complete except for the verification portion. There will be no additional cost, since Steam itself is a free download. Essentially, Steam will be a verification system for the retail version.

Steam will also have an offer to digitally download SR2 to a player's system if they don't want to leave the confines of their house. If you have a retail version, Steam is only going to verify that you have a real copy of the game when you are first installing and launching the game.

We're trying to use a very low impact DRM here, since we've seen some of the headaches faced by other major game releases in recent months. I hope that explains it a bit more clearly."
