As it was previously reported, the retail PC version of Prince of Persia has no Digital Rights Management (DRM). Well, DairukaSutain of Reclaim Your Game has taken it upon herself to thank Ubisoft as such on their forums, and many gamers (including myself) have joined in. Care to?

Many have even gone so far as to say the bought the purely because it has no DRM. Community developer UbiRazz, in the original thread in which this news was originally announced, responded to a member on the topic:

"I'm fairly skeptical as it's an easy answer given by a lot of people why they pirate games but if you're going to buy this game instead of pirating purely because of no DRM in the store version then if I ever meet you in real life I'll happily shake your hand and buy you a drink :)"

This is more than a thread about Digital Rights Management. This is a thread about gratitude. Ubisoft, you made the correct decision in removing SecuROM 7 from your game. While I can't speak for the countless communities around the internet, I can say that customer appreciation results in the mutual appreciation from the customers. I being one of them.

I for one bought this game for the Personal Computer. A decision I would have never made were it not for your forum announcements about removing SecuROM 7, echoing throughout the internet. I've also been telling my friends about this game at every opportunity.

I sincerely hope that this game's DRM-free release marks the beginning of Ubisoft's journey as a trailblazer in the gaming market. The first major publishing and development company that turned it's back on DRM for the sake of it's customers.

If so, then this is a cause for celebration, and I hope that other people will join me in celebrating.

Thank you Ubisoft. Keep up the good work.
