This was later pushed to five after 2K got into trouble for printing only a U. There was also a problem with the uninstaller not deactivating that particular user's software activation slot, which led to the company putting out a deactivate tool. Eventually, when Bioshock had dropped into the bargain bin, 2K released an update that ditched the activation limit entirely. Other publishers have been far more lenient with DRM pullbacks, though this tends to happen more with legacy software, or nonfranchise titles.
Like many PC games, it required users to have the game disc in the drive at all times, though a year and a half after it's release, the developer put out a patch that removed the need for that, as well as adding new game features. This happened with title Dawn of Discovery, which used Tages , a DRM solution that keeps users from making a copy of the game disc.
Ubisoft released a patch for the game that removed that protection, along with the need to activate the game online. It did the same thing last year for its World in Conflict title, developed by Massive Entertainment. Similar efforts have been made by developer and publisher Activision, which back in January announced that it would be offering DRM-free versions of its "classic" titles on gaming site Good Old Games.
PC gamers, and gamers in general, are a restless bunch. Getting them to wait for anything is a hard sell, especially when it's access to a new game. Pre-release copies of games showing up on file-sharing networks is now a common occurrence and one of the top reasons these more stringent DRM solutions are being put into place. So can you really blame a publisher for putting one of these systems in place in return for higher potential sales?
The one solution, as it is with most businesses, is to vote with your wallet and make it a point to the publisher or developer of a game that such systems are keeping your from purchasing a title, or greatly reducing your enjoyment of the game experience.
No official patch exists, but the engine was released as open source very shortly after the game's release. A fanmade patch for simplifying the patch procedure because of altering registry keys is available as setup and source code.

Q: How do you determine if a game or software is launcher-free on Steam? A: Install the game or software and run it online the first time this step is important as this finalizes the installation. Locate game folder, find the program launcher. If the game doesn't start, then it requires the client to be running; if the game starts, the game is launcher free.
