Vienna, Austria, September 20 2010; JoWooD Entertainment, the BVT Group and DreamCatcher Interactive announce details of the planned digital services for ArcaniA Gothic 4 and therefore react to the needs of the gaming community.
(Digital Rights Management as a module of the digital services has always been a tightrope walk between user friendliness and security of the product. ArcaniA Gothic 4 is different here) explains Clemens Schneidhofer, JoWooD Entertainment. (With Arcania Gothic 4 we deliver a high-quality product gamers will enjoy playing for hours. This joy and fun should not be disturbed by intrusive copy protection measures. So SecuROM is the perfect solution for us because it offers the necessary security and at the same time it fulfills our high expectations concerning costumer-friendliness.)
ArcaniA Gothic 4 can be installed on an unlimited number of PCs and only needs to be activated once via the Internet. To play, which can be done at up to three PCs at a time, neither the original disc nor a constant internet connection is needed. The possibility of an uncomplicated transfer of license between the used PC offers a maximum of flexibility to the customer.
(The implemented digital services will be perfected by a user-friendly Auto Update Feature that informs the gamer pro-actively without an annoying search about the availability of a new Update and installs with the permission of the gamer right away) says Sascha Geschwendtner, Product Manager Games Services Sony DADC. (In addition other innovative solutions to increase the usability and the comfort of the game were implemented one of them being the verification of the release date. This feature allows the user to install the game in advance and to start it directly on the release date and therefore helps to avoid unnecessary waiting time to access the game-world.)
