Hey, I was looking at the list of DRM on games and noticed X3: Terran Conflict still states it has Tages DRM. It was patched out a few years ago during a big content patch. (EGOSOFT stated they'll remove any DRM on their games 1 year after release, just as some extra info).

Response to recent editing/flaming on this article

I've put up this response here:

Firstly I'd like to thank everyone for helping to edit The Big List of 3rd Party DRM on Steam. It's a big job and I'm glad that there are lots of people passionate about PC gaming and DRM issues, it's certainly not possible to maintain without your help.

Regarding the recent edits by i9urd (130.43.141.35) and Arios - we would like to allow i9urd's edits to stand. The reason is that articles should 1) not contain unconfirmed speculation and 2) reference wherever possible. It is clear that games like Fallout 3 do not belong in the 'From GFWL to Steamworks' list as there has been no official announcement about its GFWL future. However I would say that various hacks and fixes DO belong on the Fallout 3 article page, and likewise on other game articles too.

I also want to say that we do not tolerate name-calling or offensive language on the wiki in any form, even mild terms such as calling someone a child, or telling someone to GTFO. This kind of languages has no place in our community, please consider yourselves warned.

Part of the problem we hope to address is lack of policy guidance. We hope to produce this in the near future, especially with regards to notability, citations, and behaviour. We aspire to become the Wikipedia of PC gaming, and our moderation will reflect this too.

I will also be discussing revamping the way we present 'project' pages such as the page being discussed. I will include a link to this Steam discussion to be displayed prominently on the header and talk pages, and clarify the goals and rules to be followed when editing that page.

Many thanks for everyone's contributions, they are very much appreciated.

Darkspore abandoned

This announcement was posted on the Darkspore forum at http://forums.darkspore.com/

"Darkspore is no longer developed. It is for almost all intents & purposes an abandoned title. If you cannot play the game & have flicked through technical issues for any fixes, then contact EA Customer Support; especially if it regards CD-Keys or refunds.

Error 73003 has gone unfixed & remains an issue.

Error Code 3 has arisen for the majority/all & remains an issue.

I will however keep the forums here as clean & tidy as possible in my spare time. Why? Well why not. If it helps anyone with minor problems, or find their way somewhere, then that's great.

I wish you all luck, no matter what path you choose with Darkspore.

So should this page be updated to reflect the game's current non-status?

The Darkspore Forums message has been updated again to say the problem is resolved so it looks like things are back to normal.

This "Big List of 3rd Party DRM on Steam" page needs a link to it linking from the Main page

The way it is now, this page is pretty much hidden from anyone who doesn't already know about it, which isn't good, I want and hope to see this page gain traffic and thrive with more contributes from others.

Currently it's completely hidden (unless I'm totally blind) and unless someone happens to makes an edit to this page at the right time and then some outsider just happens to look through the general history of the wiki's page edits, no one who doesn't already know about it will see it. There needs to be a link to it linking from the main page that people can see and click on, something with a header like "Known DRM" or "List of DRM on Steam".

I'd do it my self, but I've never really edited a wiki before and don't want to muck anything up lol, and great job so far guys.

A few things that weren't done for the 1.0 release of the PCGW SteamDRM page:

- The page is pretty much a standalone article. It links to games with pages, but games that are on the list do not point to the list, and PCGW itself does not link to this page. - There may be some games on PCGW whose titles do not match the "official" title according to Steam. For instance, punctuation may vary slightly. - Possibly more.

At this point I'll be deprecating the old SteamDRM pages, so any general SteamDRM things should be focused on this page.
