Courthouse News Service reports that a class action lawsuit has been filed in U.S. District Court. Maryland resident Melissa Thomas has filed a class action lawsuit against publisher Electronic Arts, accusing the company of unlawful and deceptive conduct. The lawsuit refers to the automatic SecuROM installation, which occurs without asking confirmation, when the user installs Spore, the latest "virtual reality simulation game." Also, the user isn't provided with the means to remove it, even after uninstalling the game, as stated in the lawsuit.

The report continues:

    Consumers are not warned about the program, which is installed without notice and cannot be uninstalled, even if the uninstall Spore, the complaint states. The secret SecuROM program is "secretly installed to the command and control center of the computer (Ring 0, or the Kernel), and surreptitiously operated, overseeing function and operation on the computer, preventing the computer from operating under certain circumstances and/or disrupting hardware operations," the complaint states.

Fallout MMO na pomolu

Ozvaničena je i informacija da Interplay ne samo da radi na MMO igri u Fallout svetu, nego su u ekipu dodali i čoveka pod imenom Kristofer Tejlor, jednog od autora prve Fallout igre. Novi projekat za sada nosi kodni naziv Project V13, a po rečima čelnika Interplay-a Tejlor nije jedini autor Fallout-a koji ponovo radi isti posao.
