The PC game HOMM5, just one of many.

According to Wikipedia, Heroes Of Might And Magic V contains the copy
protection SecuROM 7.x, which is well-known to be a (real, not just
potential) privilege escalation vulnerability. Therefore I and any informed
reasonable person considers it as malicious software, but not legitimate.

In other words: If you wanna play your games on a Windoze box, get a
separate non-connected computer. Those common computer games and a serious
workspace are mutually exclusive.

Why not just use an application firewall?
