MaxoidTom bumbled into MATY, was eager to please as a new puppy. Alas, the hornets were ANGRY. Computers were melting down, anti-virus programs were zorched, DVD/CD-r drives were acting up,  media burning software was screwing up, and it was all down to SecurROM, which had been installed with Bon Voyage but without user agreement.

IAWTC. All of it. Seriously. Brilliant, brilliant work.

If only we could be sure that they would actually consider these things, I might buy Sims 3 when it appears.

Until then...

I would love to know what EA and Maxoid Tom's response is. Unfortunately, I don't have time to go to the MATY website right now.

Wordy Mcword to all of this. And anyway what is the point of a security programme that got cracked immediately anyway.

I agree with that 100%.

As it is, I have but have not installed BV (pre-ordered before all the flack about SecuROM came out).

I have also not played the Sims at all.

Will I go back to it? Sure, eventually. But I doubt I will ever enjoy dealing with BV / SecuROM crap.

God. I'm so glad to find that I'm not the only one who was this pissed off about it. Getting the news on BV was what put me off the game. I slowly backed away from it because I can't believe it has come to this ( ... )

I...I think I love you.

That was magnificent.

I agree, obviously.
