Securom string found in Process Explorer dump of TheSims3.exe
Nightmare:
Unfortunately I already know that and the industry believes it is a bug of Rootkit Revealer. Any more indicators of Kernel code use?

"The industry"? Care to expand?
The major publishers

What the big companies fail to see is that all DRM can be bypassed.
That's true, but if they don't even make a pathetic, half-hearted little vain attempt, then they risk losing LEGAL control in future lawsuits over the unauthorized use of their product.

Can't disclose my source there as I haven't heard it from official sources either. My source is a "friend". I have found no facts that counter this though -- consider that Ubi refused to release the DLC with the real ending to PoP, citing only "business reasons". The "grapevine" translations of these "reasons" is investor/stockholder pressure to not spend any money at all on PoP since Ubi "invited" the pirates to steal it by not using any DRM.
Hah. The real reason PoP flopped is purely because it was terrible. As a veteran pirate cat, the lack of DRM never even entered consideration: I ignored it entirely because it was simply a bad game. It just goes to show: If you want to avoid piracy entirely, just make shitty games. No one really tries to pirate dogdoody.

As for your question for Pes
I didn't ask a question. I already know SecuROM is evil.

I can see that, yes. And that pretty much looks like what this current attempt is: A low-budget attempt that carries no real chance of success, just like all the more expensive efforts, but is just there as a token effort that costs little to nothing to make. It works just as well as expensive efforts (I.E., not at all), but it sure as hell doesn't cost as much and doesn't piss people off.

Pes, what´s your opinion as an expert about kernel code use in Securom?
