From Dust isn't released until 17th of August in Europe at least.

There is so far one big issue with the game concerning porting, Ubisoft Online Service DRM, which could make the game much harder to port.

Why do developers include such DRM, it make legal customers pirate their own legally bought game.
(Whatever you do guys, never buy games from EA's new online store, Origin)

Ah ye, damn Ubisoft!

Anyways thanks for the quick reply :)

Sorry for the bump but after reading this:

I guess there is a way to port it when this patch is done?
