So EA, I had heard that you and Bioware were originally going to include some pain in the ass copy protection in the Computer versions of Spore and Mass Effect which would have forced users to remain online in order to play, but then decided against it once the Internet at big cried foul. You wised up, consumers got what they wanted, everyone was happy.
Wait, what’s that EA? Instead of having to stay on the internet for constant verifications we have the ability to only have Mass Effect installed on three personal at any given time? Well, okay, that’s reasonable enough. I can live with that. Oh, you state that I misheard you? You mean we have the ability to only install a copy of Mass Effect three times PERIOD!?
But EA, don’t you realize that PC owners uninstall programs all the time – such as for a system reformat, or even just to try and get something to run – and then have this crazy notion that the software they’ve bought can be reinstalled on their hard drives? How can you even try to call this fair when Xbox 360 owners can take their copies and play them on any number of consoles?
What’s that? You state we forfeited any right to complain after agreeing to the little print in the game’s EULA? … Yeeeeeeeah, I’m going to need you to get out my home now. And you better plan on replacing some slashed vehicle tires if this crap shows up in Spore.
