New version of SecuROM
MaryH:
There is a very big, very bad new development in the SecuRom problem:
" Mass Effect News
Yesterday Jfederated found a post on the Mass Effect board which is currently scaring the life out of the staff of SAS. A gamer who owned Mass Effect made three hardware changes to his pc, only to find that he got a message stating his registrations had expired and he needed to purchase a new license for his game. His license expired after TWO DAYS of gameply. EA had originally stated that we could reinstall our games as many times as we liked under the new DRM, this appears to be incorrect. The new Securom is beginning to appear to be an attempt to obtain additional money out of people who purchase their product by getting us to purchase the same game multiple times."
If you want more information about this, our forum has the link to the original page and photos of the actual error message this player got on his computer.

I read the article. That is bad news. I feel sorry for the poor guy.
I hope he gets restitution.

Rest in Pieces, EA.... Rest in Pieces. You'd think they'd wouldn't be able to dig their grave any deeper... :roll:
EKozski:
Amen!
MaryH:
The real problem is that EA is probably going to put the exact same DRM on Sims 3 and Spore when they come out.
Can anyone spell "Sinking Ship"? EA is going to be in a world of hurt if this goes on to their other games and has the exact same effect on those.
That's why we're scared, and angry. More money to EA, less fun for us.
