Mmmm, retail versions of the first Crysis used Securom IIRC. Not sure about the sequel.

Since these crappy DRM presented potential security loopholes, it seems Microsoft decided to protect people from them.

One thing you could try if you've got a PC with an older OS on hand:

-Install the game on old PC with Win7 (or XP or whatever)
-Get a crack to get rid of the DRM.
-Transfer the game's main directory to your Win10 PC and try to run it.

Doesn't always work, but most games will be able to run like this even if they haven't been "properly" installed.

OK it worked....... Took 30 minutes sitting on that screen but eventually it actually did install. I had previously registered the game on Origin so I had the option of using either the retail disk or downloading it via Origin.

As I chose the disk I just had to do the install again a 2nd time as I rage quit the first time and let it sit on that screen saying "updating component registration" and it eventually did sort itself out..

It wasn't Windows Live thank goodness. However I do have a few of those but have never had issues with them on my pc.

The "Games for Windows Live" titles I did have were

Rage
Lego Star Wars II The Original Trilogy
Tomb Raider Underworld
Wolfenstein 2009

None of those have had issues for me.

It's insane that neither console launched with at least a 1 TB Harddrive.
