Dear Electronic Arts,It is the purpose of this message to petition you to remove the proposed Digital Rights Managements (DRM) solution, SecuROM, from the upcoming release of Spore in September. Echoi... continue reading »
"If there is SecuRom included in the upcoming games; then sorry youve just lost a valuable customer. I have payed for MANY games, and THIS is how you thank us? Screw off. Securom = EPIC PHAIL."
"I'm another lost sale due to DRM"
"ALL this does is ENCOURAGE people to buy pirated versions. I would definitely buy this game if it were not for the ridiculous 3 install rule DRM, but I format and reinstall my o/s every couple of months. This is NOT the answer to fight pirating. This only"
"I will not buy this if SecuROM is included."
"Pirates will always find a way to get your software. The only people DRM hurts is paying customers."
"I am BUYING your product. Don't treat me as if I am RENTING it."
"I've already pre-ordered, but I'm rethinking the purchase due to this crap."
"i'd play an MMO if i wanted to keep paying over and over"
"Agreed."
"To require the installation of this kind of software protection will not only not prevent people from stealing your games, it will positively encourage piracy in those who still wish to play, but also wish to avoid having their legitimate activites curtai"
"A lot of interesting games I do not buy because of DRM."
"This is also unfair to those fo us who dont have internet connection"
"I will never buy another EA game until SecuRom is removed."
"No company should be allowed to sell products that are designed to deliberately shut down or stop working after period of time or number of installations. Only looser in this kind of marketing is the customer who was tricked to buy faulty product."
"I hope this goes through"
"SecuROM on games like Spore, limiting the amounts of installs, actually defeats it's OWN purpose. It is put there to protect the companies game from pirates, but in turn, it ENCOURAGES pirates to make copies, and the genreal public to resort to these copi"
"This DRM is ridiculous."
"3 activation limits bite"
"DRM + 3 Activations = Rental. I don't rent games. I will no longer buy EA games, or games form any of their subsidiaries. I have been gaming for over 20 years and the actions of EA are criminal."
"sucks the big one"
"i dont think that it should be in spore, plain and simple"
"death to securom"
"DRM is not the right approach, credit to stardock an steam- respect your customers."
"I have really waited for Spore, but not anymore. I don't want SecuROM on my computer, and I'm not buying EA's games anymore because of it. I am not a criminal, I am a customer!"
