Where I live you can not return opened software for your money back. Good luck with that.

What is it with people and securom ?.. it mean it isn't starforce.. *sigh* Suppose some people are just whiny..

Besides the only problem i can foresee is one with programs most often used with illegal copies..

Let's suppose that some people do not like paying for the privilege of possibly getting screwed, while pirates don't have to put up with that stuff at all.
Also, see here for a more detailed explanation.

Yeah, like anti-virus software, or ones that allow you to make a backup copy of a game you own.

oh please.. it's just a system to enter a cd key with.. just like before everybody got worked up into a frenzy about all that nonsense..

The Gamersgate version doesn't have Securom, does it?

If it was just a simple system to enter a CD key with, it wouldn't conflict with anti-virus or cd burning software, disable optical drives, make your system fail so spectacularly nothing short of a complete reformat will fix it, or, in the best case scenario, simply stop you from playing the game you bought. (This is where you'll go "so what? It's just 40 bucks out the window, nothing to cry over", I imagine)
Or, you can just download a version without DRM and not have to deal with the above.

Doesn't that seem the least bit backwards? Wouldn't it be great if the version you actually paid for was the one that worked better and didn't screw up your computer? Fun thing being, it doesn't stop piracy at all, it only harms people who bought the game. Can you honestly say that "yes, that's how it should be"?
