Bullet Heaven 2 is now DRM free! And maybe works on Mac and Linux

Hey guys, I’ve updated Bullet Heaven 2 to be DRM-free on Steam, and I’ve also published the game on Itch.io.

On Steam you can opt-into this new version by going to the game properties in the Steam client and selecting the betas tab. It should say version 1.2.0 when you start it up, and the only difference is that it can now run without Steam. I’ll make this version live for everyone once I confirm that it works.

On Itch.io there’s a 2nd version of the game, never before released, that runs as a normal .swf Flash file, rather than a Windows executable. In theory this version should run on any operating system, but results may vary. Shoot me a private message on Twitter or via email, if you are a Linux or Mac user and want to test it out.

    Kingkaschte, I had to look it up myself the other day when I got the notice on Steam. From Techopedia I found this explaination:

    “What Does DRM-Free Mean? DRM-free refers to media without digital rights management (DRM). DRM-free technology permits software to bypass access control technologies used in media protected by copyright laws. Due to consumer frustration with the inability to play digital music on any device they choose, and for as long as they want, DRM-free products are becoming more popular.”

    If I’m not mistaken this means that we players can play it on Steam like we’ve been doing all this time or can now play it on our computers independently of Steam (no need to have Steam active).
