Games With Securom

Anyone have a list of games that come with securom or starforce?
 
Re: Games With Securom

I only had a quick glance at Wikipedia's SecuROM page, but it appears the following pages come bundled with SecuROM:
  1. BioShock
  2. The Sims 2
  3. Mass Effect
  4. Spore
  5. Crysis Warhead
 
Re: Games With Securom

I hate SecuROM and it is totally ruining the games sales that have it, people despise it.

Long story short: Something very, very annoying. It makes life a hassle for honest people who pay for their games, but does nothing to battle the piracy of games... which is it's "purpose". It's all sneaky and does things to your system you don't want or can control.

By the way - Spore is the most pirated game at the moment. The only ones it hurts, is people like me who actually bought the game....

To be honest, I have a very strong urge to rid my computer of my "legal" copy and get a SecuROM-free pirated one.
 
Re: Games With Securom

My copy of The Sims doesn't have it, but it's an older copy. At any rate...

I still bought the games I want to. Because pirating it seems to only make it *worse*. The companies won't stop putting in these stupid things just because we pirate them; they'll just come up with stuff even worse and alienate both sides further. So I'm not sure what the solution is right now.

But hey, for me it's just one more instance of people thinking I'm evil and must be punished for something other people did. At least this time neither fellow Christians or furries are related to the subject, eh? (By the way, don't vear off on one of those topics just because I made a joke :-P)
 
Re: Games With Securom

I was planning on getting alot of games for my new pc when i get it but almost all of them come with securom. The Orange box does not come with it correct?

I was planning to buy crysis and spore too.

Exactly they think it stops piracy when in fact it makes people want to pirate it to avoid only being able to install it a number of times.
 
Re: Games With Securom

Yeah that's a big load of bull too. You'll have to phone EA Support about installing it more than three times and they'll help you. A big unnecessary hassle.

I just totally dont see the point in the whole thing and who ever thought of the idea is a moron who is ruining the sales of potential blockbuster titles.
 
Re: Games With Securom

Yeah, and as I was saying: Spore is the most pirated game at the moment so it obviously haven't done anything, quite the opposite. I think a lot of the people hard at work cracking it just out of spite for the whole ridiculous secuROM business.

What's even worse: I foresee a grim future where EA does the same to BioWare's games and totally fudge everything up...

Yeah i think EA need to take notice, i mean Spore has one of the lowest user ratings for a game in a long time mainly down to SecuROM.

The more I research this whole thing, I've found that only one image could describe how I feel:

What were EA thinking...

I know what you mean its a stupid idea thats ruining games sales and ratings and EA continue to use it. If they dont stop then i can see some potential great games getting really poor user reviews and sales.
 
Re: Games With Securom

Aye, aye. And as I said, I'm really worried now that they own BioWare... :'(

At least Bioware titles are also on consoles (besides Dragon Age) at the moment.
 
Re: Games With Securom

Does the orange box come with it? I cant seem to find anything on it
 
Re: Games With Securom

**** you EA, YOU ARE RUINING XBOX LIVE! Dadaadad, you have to be 18 to register a EA account on xboxlive so i can play EA games online, but Swedish EA dosent support it so i must send it to USA! I hate em'
 
Re: Games With Securom

I think that the crack for Spore was available a few days before the official release...
Looks like SecuROM is really stopping pirates, eh?

No because EA only had something to do with the PS3 version of The Orange Box as Valve refused to make one.
