LOL ^^ I would love to get your sims t-shirt. I would take a pic of everyone wearing it and put the pic on the BBS.

SecuRom is suck ; it make kittens cry.
I think EA is digging their grave now because this copy protect might make people turn to piracy to avoid the mess.
We already know that Spore will use it, but do you think they will also included in Apartment Life and Ikea, too ?
it is stupid that they wanna do this do they really think someone wont make a hack/crack to get around it...

Well.... I am so torn and heartbroken. I find it really hard for me to just say that I won't buy anymore EA games that have SecuROM, but the more I read about it the more I feel like it's the only way to make EA understand that we won't take this... Am I the only one that feels totally dejected by this, is it really that easy for you guys to just say you won't buy anymore? I mean despite all the glitches and lies I can't deny that I love the gameplay, I just hate the politics of it all. Damn EA...

No, it was not easy to decide not to buy from EA. I love the sims, but securom will never get on this computer. When the choice is a game or a working computer, then the decision is easier. I've not bought anything new from EA since BV.
With this new version of securom and the 3 install limit, it makes it even easier to say I won't buy from Ea until such invasive copy protection is history.
Maybe if EA takes a hit to their bottom line, they will reconsider their policies. Although with EA's mentality, they will attribute the drop in sales to pirates, not the disillusionment of their many former loyal consumers.

It's not always easy. Seasons is my current expansion, and I have no interest in stuff packs (too much fantastic free content, and I'd rather donate the little spare change I have toward my favorite free sites). I find that sometimes, I find myself wavering ... "Oh, it can't be that bad!" Then I read about the number of computers Securom has borked, people's problems with various bugs in BV and FT, the absolutely snotty attitude EA Games has concerning its customers, what many people have had to resort doing to play BV and FT without Securom in the first place, etc. Then it becomes easier.
And it's easier still with Sims 3. There are quite a few interesting aspects to it, but so far, the negatives outweigh the positives, and EA's stubborn refusal to compromise on Securom is a big one.
I guess that what puzzles me is that EA Games is a big corporation with lots of people involved in all aspects of its creation. If so many people have problems with Securom, do you mean to tell me that no one at EA Games can come up with any sort of solution that can appeal to both sides of the situation? None whatsoever? That's a bunch of nonsense.
So no, I'm not distraught. Annoyed, exasperated, incredulous ... yes. But not distraught.
