For TAGES on 64bit systems, you just need to install the 64bit version which is available on their website.
And to the argument about not wanting to install the DRM software on your system ... pffft ... have you seen the crap that come with a Windows install?, and I'm talking about the stuff you can't turn off or uninstall. Adobe Acrobat 10 Reader anyone? iTunes? Steam is effectively a DRM, and Company Of Heroes has the DRM integrated into the game itself.

.... or the Sony root kit they got fined millions for sneaking on to people PC secretly, or the starforce/securom debacles which caused hardware issues even after uninstalling the games and where nearly impossible to remove.
Not to mention disabling legitimate software like Nero and commercial virtual drive software. Try telling the boss that the virtual DVDs used to mount all the technical resource libraries from disk for your company have been disabled by a game that someone installed and see what reaction you get.
... lets not even talk about hassles some people had playing SH5.
Note that THIS particular DRM sounds fine ... however people have had good reason to be nervous.
