    GRID has a DRM issue that means for some people - including myself - the application won't boot on a valid install. The only workaround at the time was to remove the disk, load up, and then reinsert the disc when the securom popup appeared.

    apparently GTA IV will have securom 7 but won't limit amount of installs...

    Re: List of Games with heavy handed DRM.

    Is there a list of games without protection? I've had problems before, especially with SecuRom, and not knowing what a game is going to dump on my PC has rather put me off buying anything for a while.
    It should really be on the box and I shouldn't have to check the web first.
    ... I use now a big vent for the whole machine now, but I cant use it forever, it is my grandma's ventilator...
