| Serves them right for selling out to EA and adding in DRM and a stupid 3 install limit. |

| In fairness I purchased a copy but as soon as it stops working I'll just download the ripped copy, the only people to get screwed by DRM are the poor [censored] that pay for the games. |

WTF? Just because you do not like the 3 install limit does not mean you should be allowed to have the game for free. LOL. What pathetic logic is that.
Lobby to get the DRM removed! |

| No sane person with fluent knowledge of the current gaming industry would agree to have DRM like this in a game, which leads me to believe that it was decided by a man in his late 50's that sits behind a desk making angry phone calls all day. |

EA are living in the dark ages! Never learned from the Crysis debacle as the -supposedly- most pirated game as well
The thing that hurts gamers most -apart from the obvious DRM- is the fact that it only allows ONE account PER game.
Now my wife want to make her own game etc but can't because of these idiots. like it would be coming from the same isp addy!!!
They shaft you with the DRM and don't even allow a legitimate bought copy and family to enjoy a couple of accounts.
Since when do people buy multiple copies of ONE gamer per household????? Never is the answer
Bloody idiots! |
