Shadowrun Returns by Harebrained Schemes LLC » DRM's End — Kickstarter
We just want to send out a quick update to share some good news. Thanks to a new agreement we were able to negotiate with our partners at Microsoft, Harebrained Schemes is pleased to announce that we are now able to release fully DRM-free versions of Shadowrun Returns and future expansions such as Berlin.
The DRM-free versions of SRR and Berlin will continue to be fully supported. You'll be able to download mp4 converter all game patches, use the Shadowrun Returns editor and experience user-generated content downloaded from third-party sites such as Nexus.
Very, very pleased to hear this, if only because mp4 converter DRM makes the future playability of a game as a piece of history suspect - one of the greatest things about the PC as a platform for games is The Glorious PC Gaming Back Catalogue. Since backward compatibility on consoles seems to have been widely axed for possibly cannabalising mp4 converter potential Enhanced Remake sales its great to see a game developer take the long view.

This is great news it was so sad to hear how DRM free thing went after backing $125 then geting told that later add ons after 1st would not be DRM free it was well... a huge kick in the nuts really thank you for fixing this
I am glad that you changed to DRM-free, is it possible to get a copy on GOG in addition to the Steam Code (already redeemed)? I hope you get the save function fixed and then this game can really shine!
I'm very pleased to see that you guys could get this back in, I dislike DRM out of principle, but is also very costly mp4 converter for very little effectiveness. Glad to know that you were still working on this :) definitely makes me happier to hear.

It will be good to have it on GOG because they actually bothered to make the original fallout mp4 converter games work on windows 7 while the steam version won't. So hopefully it will mean that future generations will be able to play campaigns in SRR irrespective of the version of windows they need for their hardware to work.
Good news and well done to HBS for pursuing this issue - MS still deserve an onion for causing the hassle in the first place though. HBS may find the Humble Store a good option for distribution, since it offers the choice of Steam keys, GOG keys, direct (DRM-free) download and even BitTorrent. mp4 converter They can offer Linux, OSX and Windows versions and would seem the best option for a cross-platform game.
@PegasusOrgans, HBS does deserve credit for fighting for this. But, without people making a stink about it and asking for refunds, it would have been substantially harder to justify demanding a DRM free version. mp4 converter
The situation sucked for everybody, mp4 converter but without people opting out of the rewards and for their money back, it would have been hard for Jordan or any of the guys at HBS to say that players hate this enough to boycott the product. Which is generally needed in order to convince a publisher to allow a DRM free option.
@jh: What Steam brings is in no way dependent on the DRM though. The DRM component could be totally eradicated from it (willful non-mandatory registering of the games for those that want the services) , and you could still have the conveniences you mentioned.
Congrats now all we need is GOG to offer Linux and we are all good. Quick everybody who sent threatening whiny comments to Harebrained Schemes, send them to GOG. That said you are doing great at supporting the Shadowrun community. You have or are addressing all the major complaints. Thank You
@Xod: That's not the entire truth. Steam offers something that the DRM free systems before it didn't: Having a place where all your games are and not having a need for finding the install media when you want to play something you haven't touched in a while.
This is lovely to hear. It is good to know that there are developers like yourself who will go the extra length to improve there game. I am looking forward to adding Shadowrun Returns and all the DLC you create mp4 converter to my GOG account.
Some of us even remember - I kid you not - the time before Starforce and how much more convenient it was to not be forced to deal with either form of DRM. When, once you had paid them, you could access your bought games on your terms, and not be co-dependent on the good
