DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War

Posted by Soulskill on from the you-know-what-really-grinds-my-gears dept.

carlmenezes writes "It seems that the DRM on the PC version of Gears of War came with a built-in shut-off date; the digital certificate for the game was only good until January 28, 2009. Now, the game fails to work unless you adjust your system's clock. What is Epic's response? 'We're working on it.'"

    Or you could bitch and moan about it on /. and do nothing...

    This was a method that took me no more than 5 min to hook up first time I needed it and less than that the other times. Hardly a bad solution for the times when you due to work or leisure just have to get online for a few minutes.
