TISCALI Games informed that Alone in the Dark (PC version) will be next game using mandatory online authorization, similar to one from Mass Effect.
They also discovered that Mass Effect online-authorization won't apply for every language version of game - for example in Czech, it wont contain any type of online validation (after talks with BioWare, Czech publisher managed to use only Safedisc, instead of SecuROM online) and that Russian-version of Mass Effect should use StarForce as copy-protection.

Mass Effect
According to Derek French, Mass Effect, scheduled to arrive on the PC this 28th, will employ the same SecuROM online activation system that was initially put into Bioshock, allowing the buyer to activate his copy of Mass Effect for 3 times before politely asking to him / her to go to hell, that is, contact the customer service "helpline" to get it reactivated. And while the game itself wouldn't require the DVD to be physically present in the drive, it goes one step further and phones home every 10 days and re-authenticates just to make sure legit customers are not the worst form of criminal scum publishers swear we are.» Read More

Mass Effect
Kombo writes, "Not only is CEO Ray Muzyka Bioaware of DLC, he embraces it with open arms. "We did a lot of post-release content with Neverwinter Nights, we're planning to do more on Dragon Age in the future as well and Mass Effect and other products we have in development", he noted in a chat with CVG. "We just want to make sure we're satisfying what the fans want first, so often it's good to get their feedback and say, 'What kinds of things would really be exciting to you?', and how can we put those in the game."
Unfortunately, my exuberance was tempered by another tidbit from Muzyka -- one concerning Mass Effect's forthcoming second round of DLC. When CVG threw a 'So when's it coming out?' at the good doctor, he nimbly dodged the question."

Mass Effect
Speaking to videogaming247 at yesterday's EA Games Studio Showcase in London, BioWare boss Ray Muzyka said the studio was "happy" and "proud" of the sexual content of Mass Effect, saying its inclusion was tasteful and showed the RPG was an innovator in the field of games as an emergent art form.
"It's the same content, just in higher resolution," he said of the alien sex scene in the PC version of Mass Effect. "So it looks really good, right? We're happy and we're proud of the content that's in the game. We think it's appropriate for the rating the game has ¿ it's a 'mature' rated game. It's tasteful and it's not gratuitous. It's actually adult-themed content of relationships, mature relationships that are very realistically depicted and actually very appropriate as well, and very emotionally impactful."

Mass Effect
Speaking to videogaming247 at yesterday's EA Games Studio Showcase in London, BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka said that the lessons learnt from the "digital acting" in Mass Effect are most definitely crafting the much-anticipated swords and sorcery RPG, Dragon Age, set for PC release in 2009.
"Dragon Age is like BioWare's bread and butter," he said. "It's appealing to the sweet spot of all the great games people love from the past, like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights: this aspirational fantasy fulfillment. People that play Mass Effect are also going to love Dragon Age, but there may be a bit of overlap, and there may be some people that flit from one to the other, and that's all good: they have different needs and tastes. But we're certainly taking the things we've learnt from digital actors and emotionally compelling narrative, things like that, and we're trying to apply that back to Dragon Age."
