You're right. Finally buying it.

Hint: You and a referral get $2 each when your refer purchase a game over $2. (http://www.greenmangaming.com/recommendafriend/)

The Arkham games have some nasty DRM, even through steam... at least that's the rumor I've heard. Can anyone confirm?

Dang, bought this for $5 last month. Started playing it, only about 4 hours in, but really enjoying it so far. Took about an hour to get into it, but glad I bought it. Great price, TU!

I'll never play is on PC after finishing the 360 version...but it's less than $4. Blah!

The Steam store site states the following:

• SecuROM™ - 4 machine activation limit
• Online play requires log-in to Games For Windows – Live

So through steam... does that mean you can only install it on 4 machines when installing *through* steam? I've never seen that feature on any other game... I can't imagine why they would even have it.

Are you thinking of Arkham City?

I've never activated a SecuROM product, that I know of, but I would imagine that during the install or first run of the product the software will check with the the SecuROM activation service to see if the game key and hardware id combination has been activated already with a limit of 4 unique hardware ids.


So to answer your question, I would think that you are limited, regardless of how many times you can download the game from Steam, to installing the game on up to four different machines as defined by SecurROM (a new install of Windows may count as a machine).

That's a pretty lame thing if your steam library has a limited use game in it. I'd buy it if it was a normal steam game, but considering how I already have AA on Xbox (reg version) and PS3 (Joker + GOTY edition)... I'll pass lol.

TU on the deal though, great game and if you were wanting it on PC this is a great price for it (since you won't be able to get it for any better DRM versions anyway).

I have had this game for some time.. it just gives you that warning at first.. my understanding is that you can only have an active copy of the game on 4 PCs at one time. So you would just have to delete it off the forth pc to add it to another... It has never been a problem for me. I use one main PC to game on.

(FYI granted you can only play to game on one PC at a time, logged into steam_
