Re: EA doesn't want you to copy Spore and Mass Effect for the PC
like some one mentioned above it is easier to 'pirate' games that require online validation. A quick google search brought up 5 different methods, ranging from deleting certain ingame files to having your game 'validate' through a filter. Seems like EA might lose mroe money because of this validation process than they would make.

This is why this form of protection is unacceptable:

This isn't some small company with money problems, this is Microsoft.
What EA is proposing here is even more ridiculous. There is nothing to keep EA from pulling the plug at any time, and then you are screwed. I stayed away from BioShock because of their activation DRM, and I'll be staying away from these games as well.

EA will definitely lose money on this. Both Spore and Mass Effect were on my "auto-purchase" list, but I am seriously considering dropping both because I swore I would never tolerate this again after the major pain that was Bioshock. That's $100 that they're losing from me right there.

Crysis did not have anywhere near this level of draconian security measures. I don't like disk-checking software, but it's not a deal breaker for me. The crap they did with Bioshock definitely is, though. I will not go through that again.
