Me Blog!

Grand Theft Auto IV is almost ready for the PC. I’ve been waiting so long for it. I’ve even gone so far as to pre-order it. It’s the only game I have been looking forward since San Andreas was released four years ago.

Sadly I’ve had to cancel my order.

Unfortunately Rockstar have decided to embed SecuROM DRM on the PC edition. This means that they (Rockstar) install software that you do not agree to installing on your computer. The great thing is that you cannot competely remove the SecuROM shite. It’s a virus or trojan horse by another name. Even if you remove GTA IV the securom shit stays in place.

If that’s not a virus then I don’t know what is.

Anyway!

Thank you Rockstar! I’ve saved myself about €65. I have no choice now but to pirate your software. If you think I will let any form of DRM software,  not least of all SecuROM near my PC you have another thing coming.

I was about to buy your product but sadly your terms and conditions are unacceptable. Consequently if you feel it necessary to install DRM software on my PC without my permission (which I consider unacceptable) then I consider it only perfectly fair to install a ‘sanitised’ version of your software on my PC without your permission.

You have decided to treat me as if I am a thief so now I believe I have no choice but to become one.

I hope you understand but I doubt it somehow.

Bring on the torrent.
