Will the US version of King's Bounty have Starforce?

I have the game preordered at Amazon.com, but I saw someone's comment somewhere that it may have Starforce. I'm still on time to cancel the preorder, does anybody know if the Atari/US version will ship with Starforce protection?

Well in the same there was a thread that mentioned that in the russian versions it was later removed, and even that you could easily remove them afterwards.

Yes but the damage is done then... I don't want that malware in my computer. I am really looking forward to owning and playing this game (thus my preordering it), but I am not installing anything with Starforce in my PC.

Starforce isn't malware, it's a copy protection system, a rather agressive one, but not malware, otherwise, why the hell would developers and publishers use it ?

Starforce broke my previous DVD writer. I will *never* install it again on my PC.
Never.

USA version will not use Starforce protection.
