DeuxEx - The Single Greatest Argument Against DRM
I actually purchased this game in 2000 and still play it at least once a year. Why? Like others have said here, I believe this is the greatest game of all time. You can read several 100 reviews here telling you why. That's not my objective here. I'm hopping to raise this food for thought - what if DRM like SECUROM, and limited activations, were in place when Deus Ex was published?

Since 2000, I have gone through 4 new computers, numerous upgrades and Windows reinstallations on each. My legally puchased copy of Deus Ex, the all time best game ever, would no longer be playable if DRM had been used back then. I would be stuck with a coaster. Worse, a lot of these older games are becomming ridiculously difficult to find. Just try to find a copy of System Shock 2. Impossible unless you are willing to spend 3-4 times what it originally cost for a used one. Oh, sorry, there wouldn't be any used copies of this 11 year old classic. Your and everyone else's DRM rental would have expired long ago. It would have become just a memory.

Deus Ex, the single greatest argument against DRM.

Deus Ex
Everyone said this was THE ONE! They were right. The product was in great condition as represented. It's a throwback and simple, but very good to sharpen your teeth on. I like it!

Great game!!!!
I have owned this game for two weeks and have already played it through twice, the story is intriguing, the gameplay exciting and that more than makes up for the less than stellar graphics. I am a huge KOTOR fan so I like games with good story and this game met (and maybe passed) the rating of story that KOTOR had. It also had much better fighting than KOTOR, often I find myself surrounded by a squad of MJ12 troopers and military bots but I don't have to fight all of them, all I have to do is snipe 1 or 2 and then sneak out. But if I mess up and they see me, and I hear the bullets whizzing past me and the curses of the troopers as I take them down, even with the crappy graphics I still as if I'm really there. It does not have the same amount of choice in the direction of your character or of what you can say but there is a certain amount of it and the believable characters and the loss you feel when one of them is murdered more than makes up for that.
This is not a game where there is one way to go, like I have to go talk to this guy and get the code, go hack this one computer and then I can get in the place I need to. No. You can do that or you can blow down the door or crack the code myself or sneak through the vents.
I would rate this game six stars if I could.
One of the best RPGs I've ever played!

DEUS MANIFESTARE!
During this ongoing Dark Age for PC gaming, when corporate Greed has coupled with pseudo-DRM schemes to stifle any original idea or creative process, I found myself, again and again, reaching for the classics. And DEUS EX is definitely a classic masterpiece.

Set in the near future, infused with equal doses of cyberpunk mentality and noir atmosphere, playing like an FPS with strong RPG elements (inventory, character development, modifiable equipment, secondary quests) - and yet one is better off avoiding shooting more often than not! Whoever played DEUS EX can attest that this game will stay with you. Forever. And rightly so.

This is a game infused with life. The characters act natural. The script is brilliantly paranoid. And the whole setting will immerse you into this twisted world of technological possibilities and power.
In a perfect world, David Lynch would have realized William Gibson's Neuromancer. Short of that, we have been offered DEUS EX.

Sure the graphics may look dated. But I promise you that you will find no lip-synced modern game more appealing than DEUS EX. Even 5+ years old PCs will be able to render its full potential (although the game's strengths are hardly limited to its appearance) - and it is DRM-free.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
