Self-appointed DRM watchdog
Reclaim Your Game is apparently
reporting on the use of SecuROM DRM in
Dragon Age II (the site is currently returning a "403 Forbidden" error), even though this is not disclosed anywhere in the game's packaging or EULA, and BioWare
explicitly stated the game would not use SecuROM
back in January. According to
Vivid Gamer, RYG has stated the following: "We have CONFIRMED from testing that it DOES contain SecuROM, and that it DOES leave files behind. We can also confirm that nowhere on the package, in the EULA or on the Website for the game is thee [sic] ANY mention of the inclusion of SecuROM. EA had been ordered by the courts to disclose the use of SecuROM on any game that uses it. And it is contradictory of what Bioware has been saying for the last 3 weeks." We have reached out to EA for comment on this as well as the
report of a player who is unable to activate his copy of Dragon Age II due to being banned on the BioWare forums, but have yet to receive a response. Thanks
Destructoid.

Its still a running process There is no running process once it unwraps and self-destructs.
its still in your registry An inert registry entry that does nothing.
its still on your HD In a temp folder that is never referenced again. This part is sloppy and should be cleaned up, though. We will see about doing that in a patch. |
