#CD Projekt har länge kritiserat användandet av kopieringsskydd eftersom det ofta har en tendens att bråka med betalande kunder – samtidigt som de riktiga piraterna kringgår systemen utan större bekymmer. Dessa åsikter om DRM (Digital Rights Management) har de tryckt in i #The Witcher 3.
I spelet finns en bok som heter Gottfried’s Omni-opening Grimore (GOG – som också är namnet på en digital distributionstjänst som ägs av CD Projekt). Med hjälp av den kan man kringgå den sluga magiska portalen Defensive Regulatory Magicon (DRM). Fyndigt, tycker vi. Här är beskrivningen av föremålet, rakt från spelet:
"The Defensive Regulatory Magicon (or DRM for short) belongs to the above-mentioned group of the longest-lasting, most effective and hardest to break defensive mechanisms. In order to recognize the individual administering it, it makes use of a portal mounted at the entrance of the area it is to defend. This portal passes streams of magical energy through the body of the person entering and can, in the blink of an eye, determine if this person has the corporeal signature (eyeball structure included) of the entitled administrator. As a result, the only unauthorized individuals that can possibly hope to enter are mimics.
DRM thus makes for an extremely effective and near-unbreakable security measure - but you are in luck, for you hold in your hands the key to bypassing it, namely the present tome, Gottfried’s Omni-opening Grimore, or GOG for short. In the pages to follow you will find innumerable methods for deactivating DRM, or, even better, bypassing it altogether (…)"
