I built these two retro PCs a while back (between June and October 2016), but only now I'm willing to show them here. Yes, I know I'm very late doing this, my apologies. I also apologize about the lack of photos and info - there's no incentive for me to do any better. ICENI http://i.imgur.com/ …

Re: Tron: Evolution SecuROM DRM expiration
Posted on 2019-12-04, 19:31
This is why I personally dislike DRM in general, and Online DRM in particular - the developer/publisher can do as they please, while legit users suffer (pirates, of course, get all the breaks in the meantime). "Forcing" legally bought/licensed PC games/software into obsolescence by disabling them …

I haven't given up on my retro computing/gaming hobby, it's still as strong as before - I'm just doing it much more quietly behind the scenes (and away from prying eyes). What I have given up on is the computer/video game industries as they are at present. Nothing but a sea of greed, arrogance, …
