Seeing as the game releases in a few days, it seems like time to talk about what DRM the game is going to use.
As shared by Chris Priestly (BioWare Community Coordinator) on their forums :
Digital Rights Management (DRM) – The boxed/retail PC version of Mass Effect 2 will use only a basic disk check and it will not require online authentication. This is the same method as Dragon Age: Origins. Digital versions will use the retailers protection system.
Now, in order for buyers to access the DLC (some will be available at launch), they’ll also need to access the Cerberus Network. That network will be the portal for all DLC for the game. It will be free to any purchasers of a new copy of the game, but any buying it used will need to spend $15 to get on board.
