>SecuROM is a CD/DVD copy protection and digital rights management (DRM) system developed by Sony DADC and introduced in 1998.[1] It aims to prevent unauthorised copying and reverse engineering of software, primarily commercial computer games running on Windows. The method of disc protection in later versions is data position measurement, which may be used in conjunction with online activation DRM. SecuROM gained prominence in the late 2000s but generated controversy because of its requirement for frequent online authentication and strict key activation limits. A 2008 class-action lawsuit was filed against Electronic Arts for its use of SecuROM in the video game Spore.[2] Opponents, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, believe that fair-use rights are restricted by DRM applications such as SecuROM.[3][4]

>In 2005, it was revealed that the implementation of copy protection measures on about 22 million CDs distributed by Sony BMG installed one of two pieces of software that provided a form of digital rights management (DRM) by modifying the operating system to interfere with CD copying. Neither program could easily be uninstalled, and they created vulnerabilities that were exploited by unrelated malware. One of the programs would install and "phone home" with reports on the user's private listening habits, even if the user refused its end-user license agreement (EULA), while the other was not mentioned in the EULA at all. Both programs contained code from several pieces of copylefted free software in an apparent infringement of copyright, and configured the operating system to hide the software's existence, leading to both programs being classified as rootkits.

>Sony BMG initially denied that the rootkits were harmful. It then released an official uninstaller for one of the programs that merely made the program's files visible while also installing additional software that could not be easily removed, collected an email address from the user and introduced further security vulnerabilities.

>Following public outcry, government investigations and class-action lawsuits in 2005 and 2006, Sony BMG partially addressed the scandal with consumer settlements, a recall of about 10% of the affected CDs and the suspension of CD copy-protection efforts in early 2007.

My limit is $500 for a console. If the MSRP is above that I'm not buying it, simple as. All those kinds of high prices will do is drive people to PC. Then of course if no one can get PC parts at a reasonable level you're simply going to see people stop buying video games. They simply wont be able to afford to run them. The industry will have to decide if it wants sales or if it only caters to whales. If that's how they go well then I've got a whole library of old stuff to play

>>750151474
Indie games on PC are way better than anything released to try and sell consoles.

Cost for nextgen on PC - $0
Cost for indie games on PC - $20-$30
Cost to play online on PC -$0
Haven't had physicals in over a decade, never been an issue.
Steam is the best gaming platform and community - $0

Nah it's fine.
I have a PC, a laptop and a switch. Once it's fully hacked i'll get a switch 2 which is 5k if you shop around.
MS hasn't been relevant for games in forever despite all the buyouts.
Sony died with the PS4 anyway, it just took this long for normalfags to realize.
Epic hasn't mattered since the fucking 90s who gives a shit. If people are retarded enough to use that part of their engine they deserve to lose money.
Bioware died in 2011 at the latest.

>Buying modern video games
>Buying modern "enthusiast" hardware
>Buying modern consoles
I picked up a PS4 for £90 ($120) a few weeks ago used and hadn't been updated in an age, slapped HEN on it, having a merry old time playing AC6. I'm quite happy being a generation behind. There's no way I'm shelling out for overpriced hardware. Let the AI bubble burst, fuck'em. Plenty of titles to play on old hardware.

It is like protestfags. You'd need 10s of millions of people protesting across thousands of miles to have any effect in a country of this scale. Yet they think their protests over stupid shit that are isolated to one block and at most a dozen people will work. Voting with your wallet often does work though because if no one buys something then they will stop making it or collapse. If people continued buying woke shit we'd still be having woke even with the government no longer forcing it.

What's coming is a gigantic financial crisis that makes 2008 and covid look like nothing, and apocalyptic wars. You should try to play the video games you want to while you still can, because unless the kikes are stopped somehow, we are entering nightmare world soon.

Well, I don't have a solution, I am just stating facts. When you put a disc into a console it becomes by far the slowest part of the system. That's why all games just install from disc now and download half the game from the internet anyway.. So your disc doesn't mean you own anything.
The only value of it is that you can resell after you beat the game. Which is important of course, but people think physical media is a way to fight against DRM and that's separate issue
