warning about the new Freetime patch!!!! - careful

[LadyAnnabellOfGlenmore]

here i go, defending EA and Maxis over and over again because i really like their sims games...and now they forced secuRom on me. they sneaked a nasty version of secuROM into the newest free time patch. they didn't inform anybody about this. i found out totally on accident, on snootysims.

HEY i just DON'T WANT SECUROM. such methods are a major turnoff.  >:-(
now, i have to admit so far it didn't cause any problems on my machine. i've got a mac and on my windows partition there are only sims games and two other adventure games. all legal, all original (of course) and no burn programs at all. well, i want to keep my windows clean and use it only for the gaming.

BUT it's the way they forced something me that i clearly reject because it does cause issues for other gamers, very honest people btw, for a number of obnoxious reasons.

EA: I HATE YOU for this. I absoluely hate you guys now.
The publishers of my other favourite adventure games did not turn to such user-hostile policies. Why you???
Did you think you're missing out on money?

Well, you will miss out on my money from on. I've had it!!! I'm a f...ing human being and not the prisoner of some games publisher. I have feelings GNARRRL  {cursing}  ARGHHHH {screaming}

sorry ppl this rage had to go somewhere. so be careful if you want to download the patch. There is definitely secuRom in it.
