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)

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.

  • It's enough on consoles.

    On PC, discs (when they even exist, which is rare) have basically just been digital keys for a long time.

  • SecuROM 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.

There is a simply countermeasure.

Don’t buy their consoles and games
