In that case it acts as a DRM.

The Grand Ages Rome page is looking to me like it does require the capsule to play based on the info they have listed.
Oh ok, cool. Yeah, it's a bit confusing as to how it all works. I remember reading somewhere that others have been able to download DLC for a game like Pride of Nations and use it with regular DRM-free versions of the game, but I wasn't sure if every game was like this (or if that's even accurate). Looks like you're right about Grand Ages: Rome having the Capsule DRM. I'll probably wait for it to go on sale on either Steam or GamersGate (DRM-free) then. Thanks.
