Filthy little fingers
Here's my computing experience of the day. I tried to download Super Collapse 3 from GameHouse. When I ran the application, it gave me this error message:Cannot install required resources. Your user account doesn't have sufficient privileges. You will need to run this game once from an administrator account. Afterwards, you will be able to run it from this account. (If you are an administrator, repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.)And in the trash you go. Note to software publishers: there is absolutely no reason why your silly little game requires administrator privileges. Keep your nasty little DRM schemes out of my important directories. Note to GameHouse in particular: Why don't you follow the lead of your new title, Scrabble? It's got an unintrusive, super-easy-to-workaround DRM scheme. But the game is so well-polished, I'm going to throw money your way regardless.
