BioWare har bestemt sig for, at de nu kun spørger efter online autencitet, når du installerer PC-versionen af Mass Effect eller downloader ekstra indhold til spillet.

Dette kommer som en respons på det ramaskrig der lød, da det kom frem, at SecuRom kopibeskyttelse ville være at finde på disc'en og at det kræver online verifikation hver tiende dag.

"BioWare has always listened very closely to its fans and we made this decision to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience to them," siger Jay Waramaniuk, BioWare community manager.

"To all the fans including our many friends in the armed services and internationally who expressed concerns that they would not be able re-authenticate as often as required, EA and BioWare want you to know that your feedback is important to us."

Mass Effect til PC vil stadig kunne spilles uden en disc i drevet og kan installeres på op til tre separate computere.
