Ceux qui possèdent une protection digitale et ceux qui n'en possèdent pas.
Les DRM les plus connus sont très certainement le SafeDisc de MacroVision et le Securom signé Sony. Sachez que les disques incorporant ce genre de sécurités ne seront plus lisibles par le nouveau système d'exploitation de Microsoft. Comme le rapporte RockPaperShotgun, de nombreux jeux ne seront donc plus jouables en l'état sur Windows 10. Nous pouvons, par exemple, inscrire Crimson Skies, Grand Theft Auto 3, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 ou bien encore Les Sims sur cette longue liste. Même si certaines solutions seront disponibles, il faudra ruser pour pouvoir lancer ces titres. Cette information a été révélée par un employé de chez Microsoft lors d'une interview en allemand : Tout ce qui fonctionnait sous Windows 7 devrait également fonctionner sous Windows 10. Il y a juste deux exceptions : les antivirus (...) et les vieux jeux sur CD-Rom qui ont des DRM. Le DRM est profondément ancré dans votre système et c'est là que Windows 10 dit "Désolé, on ne peut pas permettre cela, parce que ça pourrait être une possible faille pour les virus".
C'est pourquoi il y a quelques jeux de 2003-2008 équipés de Securom ou autres qui ne se lanceront tout simplement pas sans patch no-CD ou des choses du genre. On ne peut pas soutenir cela si c'est un danger pour nos utilisateurs. Il y a déjà quelques patches des développeurs et il y a des plateformes comme GOG où vous pouvez trouver des versions fonctionnelles pour ces jeux. Même si ce point reste assez dommageable pour les amateurs de vieux jeux, il faut bien comprendre que ces systèmes sont obsolètes et qu'ils pourraient constituer une faille large comme un boulevard aux hackeurs. Dans ces conditions, Microsoft préfère même nous rediriger vers les patches no-CD, bien que ceux-ci soient bien souvent disponibles sur des sites pirates. Rappelons que cela ne concerne que les jeux équipés de DRM, et non pas TOUS les jeux de la dernière décénnie. Ceux-ci restent tout de même assez nombreux, une liste les recenssant a été créée et comporte tout de même quelques grands noms.
Nous pouvons citer, entre autres, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Grand Theft Auto IV, Dead Space, Crysis, Devil May Cry 4, Fallout 3, F.E.A.R ou encore BioShock. Voici des dizaines de jeux concernés : Dungeon Siege II: Broken World Jade Empire: Special Edition World of Subways Volume 1 New York Underground Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Gothic 2 - The Night of the Raven (Gold) Tony Hawk's American Wasteland True Crime: New York City Alone in the Dark Boiling Point: Road to Hell The Da Vinci Code GTR 2 - FIA GT Racing Game King's Bounty: The Legend The Matrix: Path of Neo Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Soaked!

Le DRM tels que Securom ou Starforce fonctionnaient sous Windows 8 et auraient donc pu en faire de même sur la dernière version du système d'exploitation made-in Redmond. Il est, en revanche, bien compliqué de savoir si une manière de contourner le problème aurait pu être développé pour Windows 10... Il est toutefois facile d'imaginer la réflexion faite par Microsoft sur ce point. À l'ère où le dématérialisé domine les ventes de PC (92 % des ventes fin 2014, selon PRC Online), l'entreprise a dû penser que proposer cette compatibilité n'était pas forcément nécessaire.
