A report that Tron: Evolution has become unplayable nine years after its release is posted on PCGamingWiki in the PC gaming community.

Posted by Andytizer , 'TRON: When you start Evolution, you will see the message' The serial key has expired ''. According to Andytizer, the game cannot be played due to the “Serial Key Expired”, the package version sold at retail stores and the download version sold at PC game platform Steam .



Tron: The reason why Evolution is no longer playable is obvious, because it is because Disney has not renewed the subscription for the game /

SecuROM activation system. SecuROM is a digital rights management (DRM) product that prevents unauthorized copying of commercial computer game software.

When Steam user SillyWalk asked the SecuROM official question, “Sorry, Disney seems to have decided not to use SecuROM any more”, and it seems that there was a reply. SillyWalk confirmed that the SecuROM activation system requires that you continue to pay for the subscription, and Disney has suspended the subscription, so Tron: Evolution is no longer available.

In addition, another user asked Disney about “Tron: Evolution is no longer playable,” and “Our team has not been activated and has since been closed. So if the game isn't installed yet, you won't be able to launch the game, and we are investigating the issue and hope to distribute the patch in the future We are planning, but at this time it is undecided when the patch will be distributed. '



In addition, it is clear that the number of users of Steam version TRON: Evolution is very small . However, even after nine years have passed since the release, it is clear that there are users who still want to play, and if Disney can not solve the problem, legitimate game owners will not be able to play games with DRM “I will leave a dark spot”.
