Free Copy of the Sims 2 Contains SecuROM

Posted by Unknown on from the get-your-free-rootkits dept.

dotarray (1747900) writes By now, everybody should know that if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Let's apply that to EA, shall we? The publisher is giving away copies of The Sims 2: Ultimate Collection, for free... and not mentioning that it includes the controversial SecuROM anti-piracy software. Nobody likes SecuROM.

      This EA: you only get StarForce if you pre-order at select retail partners or buy the launch-day DLC...
