Optional – do you mean like not standing in the road type of optional?

Authored by: squib on Monday, November 12 2012 @ 11:48 AM EST

The point is I think that the DRM and single level login leaves the players computer open to compromise. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse to make protection against this 'optional'? The DRM searches the memory (and must therefore breach the memory segmentation) and no doubt exposes it to anyone else who happens to be scanning the players computer.

“N ext, warden opens every process running on your computer. ... I watched warden open my email program, and even my PGP key manager. Again, I feel this is a fairly severe violation of privacy, but what can you do? It would be very easy to devise a test where the warden clearly reads confidential or personal information without regard.
