Question from the Steam Community re: DRM

[The Pastmaster]

A user on Steam has asked on several occasions what type of DRM Surviving Mars will use. The person in question voiced fears of using Denuvo and Surviving Mars adding Microtransactions of some kind.

I figured I ask here for a dev response for him.

Only scum use denuvo and their like. Not a single pdx game I know of uses these types of system. In fact most pdx games you can move the game folder out of steam then delete steam and still play the game.

As for micro transaction I strongly doubt it and would expect a dlc/patch approach similar to other games they publish.

Paradox is releasing Surviving Mars on GoG concurrently with the Steam release, so it would be idiotic of them to release a version with Denvuo on Steam concurrently. I think we can safely say that the only DRM the Steam version will have is Steam itself.

That's what we said be he ain't buying it. I feel in a good mood so I'm going the extra mile.

Then he should just buy the GoG version. Guaranteed no DRM.

I'd probably tell him to stop being a fool. But perhaps you're nicer than me.

It can be nice but mostly it's saltier than a League player mining salt in a salt quarry with a salt pick.
