Microsoft may automatically block pirated games on Windows now
M

Bad news for those of you Windows 10 users who like to pirate games, Microsoft recently updated its European License Agreement to note that it can now automatically check the versions of the software on your computer and download any configuration changes or software updates it seems necessary, including the type that would prevent you from playing pirated games or using unauthorised hardware peripheral devices.

It hasn’t even been a month since the release of Windows 10 and Microsoft’s newest desktop operating system has been stirring up one privacy related controversy after another. The latest addition is company’s rather bold decision to change the license agreement, giving it the power to disable counterfeit games and unathorised hardware on computers running Windows 10. The Redmond-based software mammoth has updated its European License Agreement ToC (first spotted by PC Authority) to note that it will not tolerate counterfeit games or hardware on any Windows 10-powered machine. The company “may automatically check your version of the software and download software update or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorised hardware peripheral devices,” the 7(b) clause of the revised EULA reads.
