that's DRM overload!  OVERLOAD!

Will it still do the limited install thing though?
Appears it's not available in Europe yet (sigh).

Main reason I refuse to buy it atm is the crippling DRM. Windows is crap and needs regular reinstalls unless you pussy foot around it and I can't afford to keep rebuying games because of that. :P
More importantly: I shouldn't have to.

sure you want to trust what steam-ites say?  Stalker CS didn't have any install limits until someone hot an install limit.

Point is moot for me until it's out in Europe anyway.
And unless they sensibly price it compared with say amazon, which a lot of stuff on Steam isn't atm, I won't be getting it anyway.

I'm more interested in Red Alert 3, which has similar restrictions and (again assuming it's priced correctly) I'll probably get. Spore will follow if RA3 is DRM free.
