Talk:SecuROM

SecuROM DOES work on Windows 10

For the love of god, you people, it's been almost TEN years, please, stop spreading this misinformation that SecuROM is broken on Windows 10 and actually test things for yourself first. This means you, too, news websites that copy each other without fact checking. SecuROM was and is still perfectly functional on modern systems. Here are discussions disproving SecuROM myth:

I don't believe these count as reliable sources under Wikipedia rules but I can't include a reliable source because every damn news website parrots this myth, too. On the other hand, these discussions include people who have actually checked things and traced the myth back to its source. I myself have personally tested a whole bunch of SecuROM protected games on Windows 10 and they work. I've yet to see a single game where SecuROM works on Windows XP and not on Windows 10. Every time I've seen a report of one, it turned out to be a compatibility issue with the game itself and not SecuROM. Nicknine (talk) 20:03, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nicknine, next time please make the practical point: you edited the article and removed that information. Drmies (talk) 00:20, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's the thing, I thought about replacing it with something like "Despite claims of the contrary, SecuROM is still functional on Windows 10" but the problem is that that would ideally need a reliable source (the removed block had sources) and I can't think of one because, like I said, all the news websites repeat this myth. I've eventually decided that taking down the misinformation would be better than nothing. Nicknine (talk) 09:13, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
