The Curse of Outdated DRM Claims Another Victim, 'Tron: Evolution'
Found on Vice on Friday, 06 December 2019
Tron: Evolution, a tie-in game for the 2010 Tron: Legacy film , used SecurRom, a form of digital rights management (DRM), and publisher Disney hasn’t paid its bill. This means Disney can no longer authenticate purchases and "unlock" copies of the game that people bought but haven't used yet.
Often, the people most affected by DRM are people who purchase the game legitimately and experience performance issues tied to the extra software running or, as is the case with Tron: Evolution, suddenly can’t play the game at all.
That's why piracy is still ongoing. If you pay for a software you are only borrowing (since you do not really own the copy), then you have to deal with every problem the company throws at you. It's up to consumers to avoid such software.
