Valve Claims New Steamworks Update "Makes DRM Obsolete"

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday March 24, 2009 @08:38AM from the until-it's-cracked dept.

Lulfas writes "Steam is implementing a new anti-piracy solution that, according to them, removes all DRM. Called Computer Executable Generation (CEG), this system creates a unique copy of the game when it is purchased through Steam, essentially using a 100% unique keygen system. It will be installable on any system, but only playable by one person at a time (hooked into the correct Steam account, of course). Will this be enough to satisfy anti-DRM players while at the same time giving the publishing companies what they require?"
