SecuROM protection and the right to use games
2008-09-11
Internet, but the problem does not stop there. Indeed, the principle of activation is limited use: past a number of times (three in the case of Spore), it is no longer possible to activate their game and you should contact the hotline of the publisher. ..
Anyone who has ever tried to have a hotline already understand the distress of the player! The problem is unfortunately known to increase Electronic Arts, we learn use the same protection on its Sacred 2: Fallen Angel. If we believe our colleagues on RPGWatch is about a maximum of two activations: the two facilities enabled can play solo or LAN, but one can be used both to play online.
Ascaron seems to be taking a few precautions and next to a reactivation easy to get, the publisher said it will eliminate this process, via a patch, since it will be forced to shut down the servers activation ... We are almost assured! Almost as behind this process, there is still that this is the principle property of the game which is being challenged. Ascaron specifies that a purchase is actually a right of use. Right, which has nothing to do with the property of the game itself and we can not sell ... In other words, the end game of chance.
While we talk more and more often to find solutions for the PC game is doing better, we would prefer qu'Ascaron or Electronic Arts deploy their efforts to offer games properly finished and quality, which did not to suffer from comparison with their counterparts on consoles ... This time, the players of the FIFA 09 demo, which will include!
... We are still far from the mass adoption of the "Rights of the Player" such as a set Brad Wardell, patron of Stardock
