EA Denies DRM Problems With Sims 2

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday October 12, 2007 @04:25PM from the typical-mmo-company-response dept.

Fizzlefist writes "For the past 2 weeks there has been an uproar on the Sims 2 forums concerning the inclusion of Sony's SecuROM DRM software in the latest expansion pack, Bon Voyage. It seems paid customers have been having problems since day one of release, but EA is only now, 5 weeks later, issuing an official statement on the matter. A lot of what's in the statement is outright fiction with proven reports of issues with disabling of disc burning software, optical disc drives, printers, cameras, system slowdown and even system crashes. Fan responses have been cold to say the least. Interestingly enough, the expansion pack was cracked and up on the internet less than 24 hours after its release."

Um, children have genitalia which are visible when they're naked, and acknowledging the fact doesn't make one into a pedophile. Depicting naked persons (of any age) without genitalia would be calling attention to what's left out.

Someone being unable to see a naked child without having thoughts of sexuality, on the other hand, makes me question what kind of deviants they are.
