It's their right (and mistake) to protect it as they please. I don't necessarily like it, but I'll make do.
#GTA 4 SECUROM STOPS AT 30 INSTALL#
As long as the server is running and I can install the game, I can live with it. Who knows So, would it be a problem sharing a file like this. I'm just glad they are at least giving us the unlimited activations unlike bioshock or any other online activation securom titles that have come out. Maybe its because Rockstar had problems with securom doing that or something.
#GTA 4 SECUROM STOPS AT 30 PATCH#
My only prayer is that once they decide that they no longer feel the need to run the drm servers, they'll have the decency to actually provide a kill switch patch to remove the securom from the game so we can still play it for years to come. We are stuck in a d**ned if we do d**ned if we don't situation here. Choosing to not support drm riddled productions may send the message that we don't want their crap on our systems, but it also runs the risk of further pushing them away from the pc market in general. Some game production companies are already starting to view the pc market as a lost cause. This kind of DRM is unfortunate but it is something that sadly we pc gamers are being forced to accept. The question is: can the publishers really say they can get on without their customers.? And seriously - I can get on without some games.

It can be damn hard sometimes - I really wanted to buy Dead Space - but I'll get over it. I'm tired of this crap forced down my throat and I will vote with my wallet. I don't have the right to tell you what to do, but I can tell you that I - for one - from this point forward am not going to buy any game with that kind of DRM. If no one reacts now what's stopping them from moving to a fully rental model? We really need to look at the larger picture here. The truth is - if the publishers see a constant stream of money, even when they put this crap in every game, then they will want to do more, move the boundaries further - bit by bit. By doing that you also support more and more invasive forms of DRM.

You support the DRM in its current shape. You show other developers that choosing certain publishers and agreeing to invasive DRM is perfectly acceptable,ģ. By buying the game you support the publisher first and the developer second,Ģ. I can really understand the need to support the developers, but you have to be aware that:ġ. It may be ethically acceptable to you, but it's certainly not helping the DRM situation in any way.

Wegamebill: Unfortunately, this method still supports DRM.
