Yet another reason to just avoid modern gaming entirely. *shrug + weary sigh* You never know what kind of secretive spyware/malware bullshit they're going to infect games with for nefarious purposes.
If one were an optimistic type, one might think the industry would have learned its lesson after the SecuROM fiasco. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. If one is a jaded, cynical pessimist like me, however, they would not be surprised by shit like this at all.
Only game on the list that I've played myself is "Secret World Legends," and this doesn't please me too awfully much. At least they're on the "pledged to remove" list. I do have "Civilization VI" on my Steam library and was actually eyeing it to maybe play the other day. Guess that's shot to hell now. (EDIT) Actually, I don't own Civilization VI. I only have Civ III-V. So, change that to me not ever buying Civ VI. (/EDIT) And whatever vague interest I may have had in buying "Kerbal Space Program" at some point has dried up to nothing now, as well.
