WebitPR used our newssubmit to tell us that Macrovision, especially know for their 'SafeDisc' copy-protection, has signed a deal with UK based 'Sold Out Software', a company that releases budget computer games:
Macrovision Corporation, the world leader in electronic licence management, digital rights management ("DRM") and copy protection technologies, announced today that Sold Out Sales & Marketing Ltd., the leading UK publisher of Super Budget PC games, has signed a two-year contract to licence and apply Macrovision's SafeDisc® copy-protection on their catalogue of PC titles. |
Since the company's launch in November 1997, Sold Out has established itself as a British software success story in the highly competitive retail marketplace. The company's ethos of "Quality, Range and Value" is borne out by the big name titles available from a range of over 150 titles priced at the "Super Budget" price category of £4.99. In the last five years, Sold Out has delivered products to over 10 million PC Games Players.
So now even the cheapest games ($10-$15) will be copy-protected and won't be easily copied. Luckily there is also some good news in this for us testers and reviewers: now we don't have to pay $50 or more for a game that's protected with the latest SafeDisc protection
