Borderlands comes packaged with SecuROM

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up if you care about that.

What type of SecuROM?

The type that is in the majority of games released in the past 5 years I would guess.

Source?

If so, then I'm glad I have preordered it through Steam. This means I avoid SecuROM rubbish in my system.

To above post, how come you have Borderlands activated and playing, while my preloaded copy still says unreleased?

Who cares? If its activation limits then that is worth posting. But unless you have any conformation then this is useless. Alot of PC games use secuROM including STALKER...

I do care, thanks for the info. It doesn't mean I won't buy it but it is nice to know when what I buy might bite me.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply I've been playing for awhile now and the wifey didn't feel like cooking today so we went out.

I don't know the exact SecuROM used, I was installing the game in the background while web surfing and when I clicked on my taskbar to see how much longer I saw the SecuROM icon right before the game finished installation.

I'm hardly trolling, that's just silly.

It could be something just as simple as a disk check. I'm sure 2k knows better than to follow in EA's footsteps with the Spore debacle.

EDIT: Borderlands SecuROM explained

EDIT #2: I didn't even realize it, but there's no DVD/CD Key. I just installed it and started playing

Me thinks the TC is trolling, i didnt see any sort of secuROM when i activated played my copy from steam; maybe im mistaken Dante2710

back in the days of the old secuRom... wasn't very intrusive back then.

don't care as long as it not starforcejohnny27

lol does starforce still get used in recent games? I thought nobody uses it anymore hahahh

Yawn... who cares...

Yes SecuROM is very good - we need more.
