I knew there was something wrong when my pirated copies of these games suddenly started vanishing from my hard drive! Curse you, DRM!
~ What the execs think will happen, I guess? What is the point of applying DRM to a game that has already released?
My guess is it's basically a beta test of the DRM that they're going to roll out for future games. Y'know... instead of testing in-house, just test on your consumers.
Possibly, though I suspect that releasing your new DRM early is a good way to have it broken by the time you actually want to protect something with it.
One can only hope :P
