Controversial copy protection system removed for upcoming Sims outing
Publisher EA has confirmed that it has dropped its controversial SecuRom copy protection system for its upcoming release of The Sims 3, opting instead for a more standard serial code system.
EA ran into trouble for its use of SecuRom with last year’s PC hit Spore, with users complaining that its three-install limit was too strict. As a result, piracy levels for the game were above average as many sought to source DRM-free copies from illegal sources.
