Here’s everything you need to know about Far Cry 2’s DRM

Whether it be for videogames, music, or even movies, DRM sucks … period. That’s why we want to give you the heads up on Far Cry 2‘s anti-piracy measures before it’s too late.

You’re initially able to install a retail copy of Far Cry 2 on 3 separate PCs and are given 5 activations per system. By uninstalling the game, you are automatically refunded an activation, so you can theoretically install the game an unlimited number of times.

According to a Ubisoft forum manager, “you could uninstall/revoke on three then put it on three completely different machines” and “additional activations can be provided.”

Alright, Far Cry 2‘s DRM isn’t that bad, is it?
