EA's popular squad-based shooter Battlefield: Bad Company 2 [URL=http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-bad-company-2-pc/961469-new-patch-v522175-update.html]recently received a patch[/URL] to remove the [URL=http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/07/16/campc4039s-net-connection-mandate-violates-gamer039s-bill-rights]much-maligned[/URL] SecuROM DRM.
Sounds great right? Well, hold off on the celebration, because there's a bit of a caveat. The patch, which comes with a number of bug fixes and interface changes, will only remove SecuROM for Steam users. Retail owners of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are still out of luck, at least for the time being. Steam users will find themselves using Valve's internal DRM, which is a significant improvement.
