Exalt Studios Policy on DRM

Silas does not use any DRM(Digital Rights Managment). I don't believe that the user should be forced to install anything that will hinder their experience of the game.

All I ask in return is that you purchase the game to help support development of future titles, as I am a single and starving developer. Thanks. :)
