Mass Effect 2 System Requirements for PC Out

"The boxed/retail PC version of Mass Effect 2 will use only a basic disk check and it will not require online authentication," he wrote. "This is the same method as Dragon Age: Origins. Digital versions will use the retailer's protection system."

He also revealed details on the kind of digital rights management (DRM) fans can expect from the new franchise. The only DRM requirement Mass Effect 2 will have is that the disc of the game must be in drive while one plays.

It’s a welcome relief for the fans, especially after digital rights management in The Sims 3.
