New version of SecuROM

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...)
Oh Tenshii, I know how you feel, it's so frustrating and heartbreaking at the same time I feel so used and cheated by EA. I couldn't imagine not buying all the new EPs from EA because I got so used to looking forward to them and getting excited to see what they would think of next. Now, when they talk about releasing something new, I roll my eyes and sigh. And I as hard as this will be I am still not getting AL… I am so determined to make EA change their minds and I know that the ONLY way to make them change is to make them loose lots of money. If we could convince enough people not to buy AL it would be a matter of weeks before EA pulled out of their contract with Sony. Then it would only make sense for them to re-create AL without SecuROM.
I want to see that happen. That’s why I joined the Simmers Against SecuROM site and forum because they are working hard to get some legal action going as well as coordinating the letters campaign, an official petition. They also have a Stories campaign which is really important. If you or anyone has had issues with SecuROM, go write your story because you never know EA might need those stories one day not only to see the real damage but also to use to break their contract with Sony. I don’t know how this is all going to turn out, but I’ll be dammed if I let this happen without a fight.

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.
Hear hear. They go on and on about piracy being illegal. Tell me, is it legal for them to install malware on our PCs without our knowledge of consent? Flaming hypocrites. They are pushing more and more people towards piracy, and it serves them right.

ust in short: I think I need to take a break for sure on this whole issue...
LOL! Me too, maybe! I'm fuming mad at EA. No way are they getting any more money out of me.

I have been talking to EA customer support concerning securom--it's a bit frustrating. I had read enought about it to be afraid that I might damage my game, computer, and/or software if I tried to backup my game after installing the Free Time patch--I have installed the patch. I therefore asked tech support if I could backup my game with Nero without damaging may game, computer, and/or software--pointing out that if I couldn't do that and also backup other important things on my computer, then a large part of my computer has been taken away. They are consistently polite, but have yet to answer my question, instead telling me to back it up onto the desktop, and offering to help me with my computer problems. I have pointed out that I need to back it up onto dvds in order to keep it safe from computer crashes, and that at this time I am not having a problem--the question is, will I have problems if I use Nero to back it up? Rain answered my emails at first, the last email was answered by Chester.

My mouth would nearly salvate when it came to getting a new EP. I even went and purchased more memory so I knew I had nothing to fear when it came to buying FT.
I played FT for a while without the patch and I had no real problems until... Now I can't possibly imagine reinstalling it. It has taken me months to repair my game back to some normal decency of playing. I had to recover all of my families and repair each of my Sim's relationships. Nothing irrates me more when a sim thinks another sim is hot but they're brother and sister.

If you can still burn dvd's do it. Using your Nero shouldn't make securom rear it's ugly head. Some simmers who had never used their Nero were still affected. If your interested in support and some friendly helping people then join us at http://securom.sublimesims.net/smf/index.php
