I stopped buying most games since they're no fun and too problematic.

EA Games screws up games by adding DRM and multi-player only. They only hurt the consumer and unscrupulous geniuses figure out ways around them.

I miss the good old days when you could just install, click, and play. You could reimage your PC without having to worry about weird licensing and DRM.

Prime example, look how they screwed up Command and Conquer 4. I uninstalled it and still play 3.

A few Symantec products such as Norton Internet Security suite have this issue as well. Real world example: Hardware DRM doesn’t work for MacOS users running Parallels. In the Mac OS, Parallels can “temporally” virtualize the natively installed Windows (a.k.a. BootCamp) partition. A benefit of virtualizing hardware in this manner is faster disk access for Windows. The MacOS BIOS switches to legacy mode (133Mb/s hard drive access) when booted natively into a non-MacOS environment, rather than (3Gb/s drive access). Innovation is being stifled by hardware DRM. My advice is to not limit yourself and avoid all software with hardware DRM.

It should be interesting to see how this affects the field of plastic surgery and people with forms of osteoporosis (bone loss). Although, I could foresee a potential misuse of this technology by body modification artists. Just what we need, people growing horns on their heads.
