New version of SecuROM
freshsfs2003:
Hey guys, I found an interesting post on Wikipedia I thought I would share. If someone has already posted this the my apologies. There is an interesting section on the Sims 2.

Tenshii~Akari:
It had been mentioned, but not in this thread. And either way, It's been updated since the last time I viewed that page. Thanks for the link freshsfs2003. ;)
ETA: Okay... now that I've calmed down a little since my surprising temper-tantrum in the AL EP stickied thread almost an hour ago, this whole issue seems to be causing me more grief than I originally intended it to. This is a pretty bad sign... this is something out of my usual norm to be so outright and overly frustrated over such a problem with not being able to do the simple "buy the game, install the game, play the game" routine I'm used to. Normally I'm not one for going nuts over a game, but seeing as the new SecuRom is being put onto all older disks now, (and the fact that AL will have this crap on it, so I won't be able to buy the doggone thing for new baby objects I've been screaming my head off for ages for... :bawl:) I'm finding myself literally brokenhearted that I can't buy and play another EP made by EA without adding more frustration in my gaming life and chancing messing up my time and money. I can't enjoy the game I love so dearly because of fear against the whole thing screwing up my only halfway decent computer (and knowing how iffy my Dell Inspiron laptop is at the moment, this thing would probably go kablooie if I installed another EP on it either way...)
Just in short: I think I need to take a break for sure on this whole issue... it's bad when it starts to affect you emotionally. And I don't even have any EPs or games infected with SecuRom! :shock:

Tenshii, I'm like you are. I decided against getting my extra GIG of memory, because the temptation will be there to get more games even though I'm so dead set against getting them. Apartment Life looked sooooo interesting, BUT I can do without.
So, I'll just sit here with my three EP's and be happy and content.
Once again, I go back to the lawyer question I asked.
freshsfs2003:
I agree with both of you. Since FT crashed my game I uninstalled it. Even though Insim is updated now I am too scared to reinstall it. As much as AL seems so cool, I do not think I will be purchasing it. Too much of a headache and what has EA done-nothing.
EKozski:
You're right, fresh.
There's not a company on the planet or any planet that's going to tell me what I can and cannot do on MY computer. It's almost like they're stripping us of our livelyhood.
