Re: wrong
said by jgkolt  :This is absolutely wrong. Not everyone has an internet connection to the internet nor has it on their game system. i do not have a connection to the internet on my game system. I hope this will hurt their sales and show them this is a bad idea. Right. But then again, don't buy the game. Simple solution. That's the only REAL connection these people understand.. money! |

| Agreed. Let the games using this fail miserably and see how long this idea lasts. You can be rest assured if this game has poor sales, the company will walk away from this method. Some how, I see this happening. I can't fathom that customers are going to want to mess with verifying their game every ten days either. Hence, this idea is bound to fail |

| Right. I already will not buy ANYTHING that requires me to have internet connection (though I do). And when I register online, I only give my software a one time allowed connection. After that, I deny it for good.  |

| That's what I'm banking on to make it fail. The average user is not going to be keen enough to have to register his or her game every 10 days. I imagine EA's customer support line will be inundated with hellish amounts of upset people. Once they are informed there is no work around, I can foresee them not buying such titles again. No average Joe Schmoe is going to want to dicker with registering every 10 days. To make matters worse, most people aren't tech savvy. Therefore, you are requiring them to have internet to play a game they legally purchased. I foresee this upsetting quite a large number of the laymen out there. Sure, most probably will have internet, but it's a huge pain to constantly have to verify one's game. |

| Don't discount the few who may want to take the game on the road.. Just know this now, I won't buy any EA games.. just like I refused to buy ANYTHING with Sony's name on after the rootkit fiasco. How would you like to have to plug in your car every 7 days to PROVE you own it? More extreme but the same thing. |

I think that already exists. It's the breathalyser for drunks. If alcohol is on you breath, the car won't start. Sure its not a true to earth verification, but not far off =). |

I watch consumer friendly copies ROFL!!! Games with this type of DRM aren't new, Bioshock pioneered this bullshit, I MADE SURE I had an "enhanced" copy available to ANYONE that wants it..this is OVER THE top, I don't want to RENT game titles at RETAIL PRICES...FUCK EA

Hardly get over it. Ummm yes, I don't buy any Sony-branded product ever since the utterly fuckin' arrogant reaction of 'they don't even know what rootkit is', made by that former telco-media worm slimeball, Stringer.
Hell yes, I'd love to see Sony dying - and Sony Music WILL die very soon (interestingly enough headed by Stringer's bro, the other slimeball), next will be Sony Pictures, one of the biggest shitmaker studio.

Sony hardware. over rated  . Think I have 1 pair of sony headphones left. Unless you had to deal with their rootkit crap.. you wouldn't be so submissive.  |

if the game fails to meet expectations they will blame it on the pirates and not the new copyright system.. Which will foster the new for better more intrusive copyright system. This story has been done over and over. Whenever failure occurs just blame it on the pirates and bittorents...hey it's an easy cheap scapegoat. |
