So last SecuROM game I played was Battlefield Bad Company 2. Turns out when there's a problem with something, sometimes companies listen and fix things.

Plus the nerd rage over it is really overblown. They used SecuROM when they released Sims 2 (it was released in 2004, they used SecuROM a lot with games then) and they haven't bothered to redo it because, well, it is old and they just don't wanna spend the time. While I'm a firm believer that DRM is a waste of time and money on the game company's part, there's no massive conspiracy here.

They just didn't feel like taking the time to patch it out. The only way to get the message across is stop giving the I have never bought a game with this kind of intrusive DRM since.

Also my PC started running normally again. Used that and my DVD started working again. After much searching I found a website with an answer - a StarForce remover. PC started running like crap after installing X3, so I decided to backup my music, photos and game files onto DVD. a few years ago, but it was with StarForce rather then SecuRom. Turned out it was a DRM system that blocked the DVD writer and that user threw away a perfectly functioning DVD writer. He bought a new one and replaced the 'malfunctioning' drive only to find out that the new drive was also 'broken'. I remember a user reporting a broken DVD writer. OK, I'm recounting a user report on forum from years ago from the back of my memory here, so take this paragraph with a grain of salt: (may have been a similar copy protection system, if not exactly SecuROM)

If the answer to all of the above is 'no', then I'm not quite sure what people are getting upset about given that we are talking about a free game (SecuROM being bundled with paid-for games is another issue entirely).ДЄnd to emphasise, I genuinely don't know the answers to the above and can't work them out from the links in TFA. If the answer to any of the above is 'yes' then obviously there is a fairly major problem here. Does SecuROM create any kind of 'always on' background process that consumes resources and potentially reduces performance on PCs on which it is installed? Does SecuROM prevent applications - other than pirated copies of the game it is supposed to 'protect' - from functioning on PCs on which it is installed? Does SecuROM cause security vulnerabilities on PCs on which it is installed? In fact, let's break it down into a series of further questions? The wikipedia article, beyond a floating comment that SecuROM isn't uninstalled when the game is uninstalled, is basically silent on this. What does SecuROM actually do to your system and what are the implications?

I'm baffled at why including it would be worth much (especially if the license agreement involves any sort of volume-based payment, which would likely wipe out any minor benefits in audience tracking) but if it is sufficiently difficult to rip out then it would be understandable why EA wouldn't bother doing so(aside from just being evil). However, since it's also an older game(pre 'Origin' store/client/pox-on-humanity and originally distributed largely on retail disks) and being given away it would be unsurprising if as little effort as possible was put into modifications for the new distribution.Дoes anybody know how deeply baked-in SecuROM has to be? Would the developer/publisher have a 'clean' version that is then put through some sort of SecuROM conversion step, or would you have to go further back, and deeper, into the development process to cleanly rip it out? Given that this is EA we are talking about, I can definitely believe that they'd somehow manage to be paranoid about 'piracy' of a game they are giving away.
