PA states that it is "DRM free" and that an Uber account is only required for downloading/patching the game and playing online. I have a friend that would probably want to buy a copy of the game. Can I give him my downloaded bits and have him try it out before he drops $$ on the game? It's hard to build an addiction after a 5-minute demo where I am playing the game (or worse yet, if he's playing). So, is there a demo or trial version or mode of the game that can be shared in this way?
If you're using the Uber Launcher, you can just give him your credential to test it, I don't think there will be any issues. You just won't be able to play together until you both have a game key.
It'll be DRM free soon, Uber's working pretty hard on getting their servers fixed up nicely, and suited up for casual use. As well as built in offline mode.
