EA說99.8%的人不在意DRM

If you thought that EA might have been humbled by the massive Internet backlash against its use of SecuROM in its recent games, then you’d be wrong. Speaking at the Dow Jones/Nielsen Media and Money Conference, EA’s CEO John Riccitiello claimed that the whole issue had been blown out of all proportion.
如果你認為ea已經因為網路上對於最近遊戲中使用securom
造成巨大的反對聲浪而威信掃地,那麼你就錯了。
Ea執行長John Riccitiello在
The Nielsen Company and Dow Jones, Media and Money媒體如是說,
並聲稱整個事件已被誇大不實而造成誤解。
‘We implemented a form of DRM and it's something that 99.8 per cent of users wouldn't notice,’ claimed Riccitiello, ‘but for the other 0.2 percent, it became an issue and a number of them launched a cabal online to protest against it.’ The use of SecuROM in EA’s recent PC games, including Spore, Mass Effect and Crysis Warhead, has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, resulting in hundreds of one-star reviews on Amazon.
”我們在遊戲裡安置了DRM這東東,
而99.8%的使用者並不會注意到這玩意。”
Riccitiello說,
”但另一群0.2%的人認為那是個問題,並在網路上陰謀集結抗議。”
Securom已使用於ea最近的遊戲,包含孢子,質量效應,獵殺悍將,
並在網路上造成諸多爭議,導致在amazon很多一星的爛評價。
Originally, Spore only allowed you to activate the game three times before you had to call EA, but this was later relaxed to five activations. However, the limit on the number of installations is just a part of the controversy. The latest version of SecuROM installs a service in Windows that allows it to shutdown emulation software, preventing you from using some disc-copying software such as Alcohol 120% and Nero.
一開始,在打電話向ea討啟動次數前,
spore允許你安裝3次,之後放寬到5次。
但安裝次數限制只是爭議之一,
最新版本的securom在windows安置一個服務,
這項服務會關閉一些模擬軟體的運作,
以防止使用磁碟複製軟體如酒精與nero。
This low-level access to the operating system has led to an accusation that SecuROM has access to Ring 0, providing direct access to the kernel. EA is currently being taken to court over the use of this DRM system in Spore. However, officially SecuROM only has access to Ring 3 of Windows, which contains normal applications.
securom對作業系統ring 0層級的低階存取也被指控,
這層級已到了系統的核心部分。

Ea目前仍因為在spore中使用drm而纏訟,
但官方表示securom只到windows的Ring 3等級,
也就是一般應用程式的層級。
Riccitiello admitted that he personally doesn’t like DRM, as it ‘interrupts the user experience.’ He also added that ‘We would like to get around that. But there is this problem called piracy out there.’
Riccitiello承認他個人不喜歡drm,因會造成使用者不愉快的經驗。
但同時也補充道,”我們很想迴避drm,但盜版問題讓我們沒有選擇。”
