EuroGamer - Crysis 2 maker Crytek has defended the use of digital rights management in its games, claiming most fail to notice it.
Crytek : In episode two of Our Story, the team discusses the evolution of Crysis into Crysis 2 and 3 (and the pressures that came with it), how a local connection landed an incredible collaboration with legendary composer Hans Zimmer, and the New York trip that inspired much of Crysis 2. For the gladiators among you, you’ll also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the development of Ryse: Son of Rome and the attention to detail that went into it.
Crysis 4 is "on hold" and Crytek is facing layoffs - so what does that mean for the company that was once Germany's biggest games dev + the industry as a whole?
I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

" Crysis is something of a tentpole game series for us at Digital Foundry, with a reputation for being an early adopter of graphics technologies that would later define entire generations of PC and console video games. That includes the likes of screen-space ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering and ray-marched volumetric lighting, but you could write volumes about just how ground-breaking that first game was "
I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek
Pretty sad that the studio that gave us a monumental game like Crysis is now subsisting on microtransactions from a live service PVPVE game.
Crysis developer Crytek is the next studio hit by layoffs, as it announces it's set to lose an estimated 15 percent of its 400 employees.
Maybe putting The Power Rangers in Hunt Showdown will get you some money back. (sarcasm)
Of course no one notices it any more, if it pisses us off we just crack the damned game.
Hey, I bought the freakin' game, if I don't wanna drag my ass upstairs to go through my disks everytime I feel like playing it then by God I won't.
Bought it on steam, I hope you don't have a second layer of starforce or something like that eh.
I agree with him. XBLA games have DRM and that doesn't bother me at all
Didn't buy the Crysis pack on Steam this past Xmas because of its DRM. I only own 1 PC game with 3rd party DRM (Batman:AA GOTY), and it was my fault for not checking first. If I had, I wouldn't have bought it.
Does anyone know what kind of DRM it is? Figure it's either SecuROM or EA Access.
I don't have an issue with DRM unless it,
- Breaks my system or crashes stuff
- Sends my data somewhere
- Installs stuff that is extremely hard to remove if at all
- Has limits that require you to call in to refresh or buy a new copy
- Mistakes legit users for pirates and punishes them as such
