Yet another hot October release, Far Cry 2 has officially gone Gold and will make its release date for October 21st. However along with this news, Ubisoft has confirmed rumors that Far Cry will have the same DRM software that EA's Spore and Crytek's Crysis: Warhead came with. Ubisoft's official statement and more after the jump.

Some DRM points that will hopefully answer some of your questions and will clarify some misunderstandings about our DRM and SecuROM:

- You have 5 activations on 3 separate PCs.

- Uninstalling the game “refunds” an activation. This process is called “revoke”, so as long as you complete proper uninstall you will be able to install the game an unlimited number of times on 3 systems.

- You can upgrade your computer as many time as you want (using our revoke system)

- Ubisoft is committed to the support of our games, and additional activations can be provided.

- Ubisoft is committed to the long term support of our games: you’ll always be able to play Far Cry 2.

DRM Technology is a pretty hotly debated one and has definitely only grown more intense as more and more publishers include it with games. What's your stance on it? Will the including of SecuROM keep you from buying the game? Head over to the forums and share your thoughts.
