Sure, I'll sign, though Spore has been uninstalled from my computer so...meh

Where's the Q&A?

I think I'll bid ya'all adieu as well. The SecuROM is now messing with my laptop's touchpad controls so I have to uninstall. The best of luck to anyone who still works for this.

Are topics being repeated on PURPOSE, or has SPORE simply killed everyone's originality?

Make a poll with those two choices!!

Funniest part, hands down. I got the mental picture of a humming bird just fluttering there and then suddenly crapping out a tiger.

do some research on secureROm (like go to their site) and you would see or that. or instead, just keep listening to "those that do not know" and make more threads making crap about it.

is securROM good thing? not good, but as bad as the uninformed believe.

here is a place to get you started at leaning what it is and does:

Love listening to this...
SecuROM is a malware...causes programs to stop working, is installed without permission from the gamer...especially because it is NOT mentioned in the EULA or any downloading screens (ie: Nothing pops up saying "We are going to install SecuROM on your computer. Is this OK?")

Do some research yourself. California law states that you muct inform the consumer of EVERYTHING you're installing onto their computer.

so in california, does the game have to tell you every single file it is installing aswell. its part of the dvd. It says in the eula that it contains a form of copy protection software. I mean if you have to state everything its installing on your computer you'll have a very big list of files and explanation to those files.

i've had securom on my system for years, no malware type problems here, no slowdown, no programs not working

I was generally stating it. If you'd like I can go through and find it on the internet.

In any case, this isn't protecting the game. Nowadays, if I play SPORE, then close it AND the EADM, I can't open any other games (ones NOT made by EA) without restarting my computer.

I guess to EA/Maxis...you can't be sentient beings without being able to walk on land and only breath air. Such a shame...that's really thinking inside the box there EA & Maxis.

Meh...I was chillin with Spode and Steve for a few days...nowhere near a computer. So, uh...yeah...BUMP!

What about the option:
"Looking to get the game fixed."??

And a bumping we shall go in a one horse open sleigh, riding through the...

Looks like I won't be patching then
