SecuRom is a big problem because
a) so far most games with it don't tell you it's going to install it - which seems like a fundamental problem to me
b) once installed it's almost impossible to tell it's there
c) there is no easy way of removing it

I'm more than happy to pay full price for a game, and it's reasonable for that game to have some sort of copy protection, but the nature of SecuRom is highly suspect (like Sony's notorious RootKit) and i'd prefer to avoid it

(i may consider installing such games on my old machine - but then the new games won't work on it anyway)

shame really :(
