Report Claims Dragon Age II Utilizes SecuRom

Reclaim Your Game – a consumer organization for gamers – tested Dragon Age II for DRM and is reporting that it uses not just EA’s “online” DRM, but also carries Securom, despite no mention of Securom being made anywhere on the game’s packaging or UELA.

That’s what we found in Dragon Age 2. It is a game that provides Consumers with inconsistent DRM information, especially between what’s stated on the package, on EA’s Product EULA page and on their EULA itself.

* It is a game that possesses a 28-Page EULA unfit for anyone to read and one that lacks even the most basic of Gaming Information: What DRMs are implemented? Can I make a backup copy? Can I resell my game?
* It is a game that pretends to have a safe and transparent activation service, even though it’s laden with two activation layers, one of which they grossly misinformed.
* Most importantly, it is a game that was made to entice Consumers in pre-ordering and ‘˜rewarding’ Consumers with exclusive DLCs which hardly justify the price given the game was made out of misinformation and dishonesty.

The full report is available in PDF format through the link. You will recall BioWare’s Christ Priestly stated the Steam versions used no other DRM and no versions used SecuRom.
