SecurRom & SafeDisc won't run under Windows 10

[owsf2000]

You know, I'm not sure if this is a reason to upgrade to Win10 or not.

Ok, actually for me personally it doesn't change anything - I'm still not thinking of upgrading to Windows 10 due to all the other things they're doing with it. The fact that I have no games that have SecuRom/etc means this doesn't affect me.

But for those gamers out there that swallowed the DRM in the effort to being legit/etc, this is essentially going to kill off a portion of their library unless they... download cracks that remove the disc-requirement. Or avoid Windows 10.

I know I have a few games that have SecuROM, because I used to not be so opposed to that kind of bullshit back in the day as I am now. I'd have to find an official list of games that have it to know for sure which ones I have are ones that contain it, though. If I ever have a reason to play those at some point in the far flung future after I've finally deigned to upgrade to Win10, I'm fairly sure I'll be able to find a patch or crack (legit or otherwise, I don't much care, so long as said cracks themselves aren't laden with their own malware) that circumvents it or removes it or otherwise nullifies it. I've personally never had any of the computer-damaging issues with SecuROM that others have had, but even so, since I got Spore back in 2008 or whenever, I still haven't knowingly bought any other games that contain it (and if I've unknowingly done so, then the pubs/devs of those particular games did a real job of hiding the fact that it was there). I didn't even download the free Sims 2 shit EA released on Origin a while back, since it still had the SecuROM in it (though, in fact, I still actually have my disc copies of Sims 2 installed even now, which has the same SecuROM shit, so I guess that doesn't really matter... >_>;).
