Removal of SecuROM from Spore
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 »
"I completely agree and will not buy this game if SecuROM is used."
"I believe that if I buy the game, i should not have to ask for permission to install it on my computer. The install limit is just a ploy to get more money, and i will boycott ALL of EA games in the future unless this is lifted."
"I've been a SC customer since Classic, and Sims 1 and Sims 2 until now. No more :("
"EA is trying to make a rental look like a purchase. Customers are not informed that they do not buy the rights to play, borrow or sell the games whenever they want. I consider this fraud, a crime worse than piracy."
"Not acceptable"
"This sort of DRM is awful. All it does is hurt your legitimate customers. I had hoped that your business practices would improve after Larry Probst stepped down, but thus far you have been lacking. Please don't continue down this path it's never late to c"
"Let's not destroy one of the only computer games I'm looking forward to."
"I understand that companies need to protect their investments, but punishing paying customers with malware DRM is not the answer. I will not be buying another EA product until and unless the company is willing to treat consumers with a modicum of respect."
"Spore should be available to the public without SecrROM, I had my hopes up but now, unless they take it off, I'm thinking about getting rid of Maxis on the top 10 game companies. Obviously they are just trying to make money off of selling more copies of i"
"SecuROM is NOT worth it, EA. You will lose tons of customers as well as losing every customer who lacks an internet connection (there are more than you think)"
"Already Lost me on Mass Effect.. Will not Consider buying Spore if it include DRM"
"SecuROM needs to be removed"
"I want to buy this game but the issues with SecuROM have me concerned about it!"
"might as well sign"
"I will not buy a game with Scurom on it i did not buy mass effect (pc) or bioshock over it i wont buy spore if this is in the game, I am not a thief dont treat me like one !"
"I will not be buying this game unless this ridiculous activation is fully removed. ever since pre ordering Bioshock with no mention of needing an internet connection and having trouble activating i now NEVER buy any game with this version of securom and i"
"Totally agree with this petition. An install limit punishes those who legitimately buy the game."
"I am sorry, but i will be pirating your game if this continues. There is no reason for me to purchase a game to screw myself over. Sincerely, Chris."
"Secure ROM just doesn't work."
"The SecureROM dont make any problems to illegal owners of game, but make many to legal ones."
"I doubt the customer was first in the planning stages of this game."
"lo;"
"Please remove Securom from Spore"
"I will not buy Spore if SecuROM is included."
"I won't purchase Spore if you put in SecuRom. What advantage to your customers does this even offer? I've bought Sims along with all EP's, as well as Sims2 with various EP's. All your SecuRom does is hurt your Paying customers."
