Valve believe they can call the death knell to spiteful DRM tactics with Steamworks’ latest additions to their toolset, thanks ”Custom Executable Generation” technology.
Yes, CEG, is the saviour of the PC platform when it comes to handling issues of DRM claim Valve. It enhances the already ”existing anti-piracy” solutions present in Steamworks.
”A customer friendly approach to anti-piracy, CEG makes unique copies of games for each user allowing them to access the application on multiple machines without install limits and without having to install root kits,” said Valve.
”As we roll out these features, we continue to look for new ways make PC games easier to create and better for customers to experiences,” noted co-founder Gabe Newell.
Steam has been updated to support in-game downloadable content recently, and now with CEG they look pretty appetizing to developers and publishers.
”Steamworks’ anti-piracy suite combines three approaches to anti-piracy: (1) Custom Executable Generation, (2) Retail Encryption, and (3) Valuable Platform-Dependant Features,” promotes the official blurb. Are you a fond Steam user?
