Let's make things clear for everyone: - The add-on uses one part of SecuRom.
- SecuRom has one component for online activation.
The add-on makes use of this component and only for the download version (which seems to be the only version of the add-on that is being sold at the moment).
When activating, SecuRom accesses a server to check if the activation is correct.
After the activation, the SecuRom module will not access any server, ever.
- SecuRom has one component for disk checking when starting the game. The add-on doesn't use this component.
- There is no crack protection in the add-on (like the big eyes and the 2D crewmen in the gold version).
- SecuRom is not StarForce.
- SecuRom is not evil and is only used to ensure that the download version is being used only by people who bought the game.
- SecuRom stores some keys in the Windows registry, but doesn't contain a "rootkit" or any other modules that people associate with "conspiracy theories".
- You can play SH4 without the need for the disk to be in the drive. Personally, I don't know any other company that does this. All my games either require the disk on start-up or use an online check (e.g. Steam).
- You are perfectly safe.
