Well, as the saying goes, better late than never. Gearbox and 2K Games have released a new update for Borderlands that removes the annoying SecuRom DRM that plagued that game. Not only that, but Gearbox has imported SecuRom DLC keys into Steam, meaning that you can activate your DLC if you it outside of Steam.
As always, this update will be auto-downloaded next time you start the Steam client.
Here is the complete changelog:
– Removed SecuRom from the title and all DLC
– Added a “Granting Tool” In the steam “Tools” section that turns a retail disc into a Steam version of Borderlands
– “News Ticker” added to the main menu to give you updates on the Multiplayer restoration updates.
– Imported SecuRom DLC keys into Steam, so if you bought DLC outside of Steam, activate it within Steam and get your matching content.

Now add FOV slider, proper PC settings as in Borderlands 2 and all happy.
Yeah, I don’t know why they never did that, or at least made the *default* FOV wider. You can fix it, but you shouldn’t have to.
Are people still playing Borderlands 1? That would be strange seeing how BL2 is bigger and better in just about every way possible. BL2 doesn’t even feel like a sequel to BL1 – the differences are just night and day.
I wouldn’t mind replaying it sometime, I had a lot of fun with it. Expecially Knoxx. But yeah, BL2 is still huge, one of the most played games on Steam. People give them crap for all the DLC, but people *wanted* extra content to play and they just delivered it.
Thanks John for the heads up, was able to get my retail disc granted
