[casual_games] DRM

[James Gwertzman]

We are using the GameShield DRM for protecting our games over in Asia;
their model is quite flexible and allows us to do significant custom
enhancement while still using their core technology for protection. The
download manager, however, seems orthogonal to the DRM - how the bits
get down to the user's machine doesn't have much to do with how the bits
are protected, does it?

Hi,

 

i'm researching different DRM solutions to support try and buy and
subscription models. I am looking for a solution that allows us to
create a custom download manager (as seen in big fish's website). Real's
TryMedia doesn't provide this i've read in
http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/casual_games/2005-September/000169.h
tml that most portals use TryMedia, so they must either have a special
arrengement or have changed provider since.

The alternatives i found are:





-SoftWrap http://www.softwrap.com/ <http://www.softwrap.com/> 

-StarForce http://www.star-force.com/solutions/license_model.php
<http://www.star-force.com/solutions/license_model.php> 

-Exent

on.asp
<http://www.exent.com/Markets_and_Solutions/Publishers_digital_distribut
ion.asp> 

-GameShield http://www.gameshield.com/ <http://www.gameshield.com/> 

 

Does anyone in the list have any experience with this DRM systems and
can recommend any of them?

 

regards,
