SecuROM isn't bad, though.
It's bad enough: it's annoying being forced to reboot your computer if you've used Process Explorer or various other forms of innocuous software (which also makes me wonder what they're trying to hide, but that's another matter) and it has caused problems with me accessing my DVD drive in the past. The limited activations present in some implementations is also something that concerns me.
Even if these things aren't immediate problems, they're still potential risks, and as something that really serves no useful purpose, it shouldn't be there. Obviously I can only speak for myself and if others don't have a problem with it then that's their business, but it does discourage me from buying games encumbered with it. Almost put me off buying FoV and it has successfully put me off buying other titles.
