| 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) [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33362792 [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32049626 |

| ▲ | Anamon a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | 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 |
