CD keys. Always loved them.

Funny how much discussion we usually have in PC-focused topics but when it comes to DRM, it's actually pretty quiet.

Personally?

Steam, I actually perfer having a download server to having a disc.

Crap I think I shouldn't have included the "Always on Online activation"

I should've replaced it with no DRM :D

steam is awesome, having all your game in one place is nice, plus they usually have a lot of great deals almost all the time.

I like Steam, I just wish I could play single-player Steam games without having to boot Steam. To me, it's just another background program that slows performance of me trying to whack some headcrabs with a crowbar.

cd key is great and legitimate.

accounts are enoying... don't want to have a log on for every game....

steam is ok as it's also a service.... but at it's start it was a pain...

Yes, years ago I tried it because they started releasing the latest HL patches exclusively through it and it was so horrible I uninstalled it and never tried it again after I completed HL, Opposing Force and Blue Shift. I could never join an online match of Counter-Strike, it often hanged, it took forever to update itself and it slowed my PC. I know that now it's a lot better and I give it due credits for this and wish it good luck for being a good and welcome alternative to its competitors, but I still got to persuade myself to give it another try, in the meantime I picked from my backlog games that didn't need it.

everyone one said it, but ill say it again. NO DRM at all. it sucks, but Steam looks pretty good
