EA follows Ubisoft, will sell titles with 'always on' DRM
- Thread starter chaparral
- Start date
Also you will not be able to play any games with this new online DRM while on the move with a laptop..Not ideal especially when servers go down as seen with Ubisoft
Or makes a major problem for anyone that are on dail-up or Pay as you go broadband or some other limited internet access...

Well we've already seen just how reliable EA servers are with the ongoing problems some users are having with BFBC2
Oh and the SP option for C&C4 has already been cracked
Stupid moneygrabbing companies . IMO this isn't about piracy , its more to do with releasing **** poor games and then patching them to get them playable before charging you again for DLC.
Well done and welcome to the new age of piracy , you idiots

Same here, there's no way I'm going to support a system like this.

When will they ever realise that the only ****ing person who has to live with the DRM is the paying customer... First thing the pirates do it remove the DRM so they can do what they want.
Leaving us paying customers to cope with the hassle of DRM.

well lol.. they haven't cracked AC2 yet :OOO so EA is going to "flack" around trying to win some moneyz
it will be cracked anyway.. and the only losers will be the ones who paid for itI don't mind Disk check, I don't mind one off online activation (steam, live etc with offline option). I don't even mind limited activations if it isn't stupidly low, or never gets patched out.
But this always online is the one form of DRM which is completely unnacceptable to me, just too much of a devaluation of the value of the product. I've always sneered at the over-angry internet contingent of PC gaming but should any of these companies care, this is it, my line in the sand on which I won't compromise.
I don't have any pirate games but I'm not prepared to be treated like a potential criminal.
We should big up puplishers like Valve, like THQ, like Capcom, who don't pull this ****. (Plus numerous smaller publishers).
If this conflict eventually means PC gaming becomes mostly indy / independent games, I'll be sad for the loss of the blockbuster games & the technological envelope pushing but I can live with it.
