Because seriously, it makes no frakking sense that I have to put the Oblivion (GOTY) disc in my computer to uninstall the damn game...

You'll do it if you don't want to become an unperson!

oh, you don't like it? that is odd cause most people just love the **** out of it.

[Klaustrophobia]

you could just delete the install folder.  i'm pretty sure the disk won't need to be present for that to work.  honestly securom doesn't bother me.  at least all it wants is a disk check, not extra programs running in the background or an active internet connection to a registration server.

I've heard it crashes some people's computers.

It makes some games unplayable

Well, you have to have an Internet connection (and a specific piece of anti-pirate software) to uninstall The Orange Box, so your disk-check could be a Hell of a lot worse.

Of course, I don't remember having to do that with my copy (and I don't feel like testing it). Must be something specific to the GOTY package.

A damn funny typo that I have corrected XD

I still don't get what the purpose of requiring copy protection for uninstalling is, though...
So people who pirated it can't uninstall it when they're about to get busted?
Seems dumb, seeing as if they managed to bypass your copy protection in the first place...

it would require common sense to realize that, something i have often noted an absence of in many companies either as a customer and/or an employee

[Klaustrophobia]

i think it's more likely a bug or oversight in the software that they just don't bother to fix.

I won't use the magic word, but I can tell you that most virtual drives will handle oblivion's securom.  You'll still have the disc in a drive, it just won't be the plastic one.  It's what I do - it even speeds things up a little at startup ( no optical disk spin-up)

Virtual clone drive is free.

Or you could just no-dvd patch it. But, you know, whatever.
