Re: wrong
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.  |
