DRM, or "Digital Rights Management", is a technology or set of technologies used to control and limit the use of digital products and digital content, including video games. This is done through encryption, the use of license keys, and restrictions on the number of devices where the game can be installed.
How is DRM used in video games?
Some games require you to be constantly connected to the Internet, even if you are playing a single-player game. This is used to verify that your copy of the game is legitimate.
License keys that you receive when purchasing the game must be entered to activate the game. This is another way to ensure that you have indeed purchased a copy of the game.
There are restrictions on the number of installations. Some DRMs limit the number of times you can install the game on different devices.
Some companies, like Steam, have their own DRM systems that require the installation of special software to manage digital rights.
