Unsurprising. [0] This is even before 2030 and you will own nothing and be happy.
Get ready for your games to be delisted [1] as you never owned them in the first place (unless you have the disc)

- croes 4mo agoThere is a simply countermeasure. Don’t buy their consoles and games
- mDyJzDPmBdG 4mo ago> unless you have the disc Is that really enough? AFAIK many PC games with SecuROM won't ever work without crack, as that entire DRM is incompatible with modern OSes.
- Wowfunhappy 4mo agoIt's enough on consoles. On PC, discs (when they even exist, which is rare) have basically just been digital keys for a long time.
- Anamon 4mo agoSecuROM can be re-enabled on Windows 10/11 with some reasonably simple steps. But I think that's comparing apples to oranges. That SecuROM game will continue to work fine on a system it was designed for. Playing a game from the Windows 98 era on a Windows 11 system is entering the territory of backwards compatibility. Same as a PSX game will keep running on any PSX, but there are no guarantees on a PS2.
