No further patches for M2TW or Kingdoms (update: Kingdoms patch announced)

Here is some info on SecureRom removal from the 2K (Bioshock) forum (note to moderators: this is about removing leftover SecureRom files after the game is uninstalled, it's not about breaking the CP):

And if you read through that, you'll know why some of us are refusing to buy Kingdoms, and won't buy Empire, if they do something like this again. It's absolutely insane to expect your customer to jump through those kinds of hoops (if that procedure even works... I haven't tried it), to remove copy protection that should be automatically removed when the game is uninstalled.

BTW, I bought Bioshock because in the early days it looked like the devs were promising a removal utility. Now it looks like they've kicked the ball back into Sony/SecureRom's court. Very disappointing... so I might have to actually try that method.

And if you think leaving it there is just a minor annoyance... I've already had to flag off the SecureRom directory because it tripped a failed backup warning with my current backup software (SyncBackSE). That's just a taste of the kinds of things that can happen, and cause additional user headaches, when you have hidden files that look like viruses and rootkits (even if they're not) to backup and anti-malware software.

Thank you guys, I'll give it a try tomorrow after work.

Sad that we, legit game-players, have to do this tho given that it probably doesn't slow down hackers for 2 minutes.

cheers again.

ps. I am not going to touch bioshock now I know about this, damn shame 'cos it sounds like a great game.
