So due to a revision in the Windows 10 EULA, we now know that windows 10 is set to be able to seek out and disable pirated games and programs. If you want to read more about it you can do so here, but to sum it up we don't know for sure when or how this will be implemented, and whether or not it pertains only to Microsoft software or to all the software on your computer. Now, normally I wouldn't mind this at all. It doesn't really concern me, right? But then I started wondering, can ROMs be classified as pirated software? I don't mean from a moral standpoint, that could likely be argued all day. But if a program were to hunt through your computer for pirated software, would a game ROM be seen as such?
Hopefully the answer is as simple as "no, a console game iso and a pirated PC game are two entirely different beasts." Or maybe this will only apply to Windows software and the question is currently irrelevant. But if not then how do you guys feel about this? Does this change your stance on upgrading to Windows 10?
