I mean, I have a few games on it, but I bought ME3 and I regret that.
If you actually paid money to EA for that game, then unfortunately, my fucks are rather depleted, and thus none are given; I would never (ever) voluntarily install SecuROM (or equivalent malware-disguised-as-security) on any machine, let alone pay for it.
That said, there are actually very few games you can get your money back on nowadays; after all, if you were to buy a physical copy of a game, then what would stop you from making a copy and then returning it for a refund?
This is why I encourage FOSS software. So many headaches go away when you don't have to worry anymore about refunds and product keys and SecuROM and all the other shenanigans involved with proprietary software. Plus, 9 times out of 10, the open-source programs are better anyway. Warzone: 2100 in particular is a fantastic RTS.
It's also why I'm enthusiastic about Valve bringing Steam and the Source Engine to Linux; I would not be surprised if Valve subsequently open-sourced some of their software in order for it to benefit in the same ways that Linux as a whole has benefited from being open-source.
That's just my two cents, though.

If I had to choose between installing SecuROM on a machine, or having both Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black "singing" loudly into each of my ears for all eternity, I would choose the latter.
That's how bad SecuROM is.

I won't even install SecuROM on a Windows ME, ME is too good for it.
Hell, I would go to youareaidiot and get SpySherrif before installing SecuROM.

If you've already installed it, then uninstalling it won't do you any good. You're already fucked.
However, you can instead format your hard drive, install a nice Linux distribution (like Ubuntu or Mint), install Wine, and not have to worry about SecuROM attempting to load kernel-level malware on your machine (since not only will Linux not allow that to happen without your explicit permission, but said kernel-level malware will be incompatible with the Linux kernel anyway).The God-Realm wrote:I won't even install SecuROM on a Windows ME, ME is too good for it.

True; SecuROM is the only thing that could possibly make ME or Vista any worse than they already were.
