Re: BS
said by Karl Bode  : Can you, anonymous defender of EA, show me where this is not the case? I'm far from an EA defender, so don't put words in my mouth, please. I hate EA for many reasons.
But I am being objective here, because they did take a huge step back with this DRM scheme.
However you must really hate them because you just cannot look at it objectively. |

| DRM that focuses on control is BAD, almost all DRM is bad by design. It doesn't stop piracy and all it does is annoy users. Since when does the publisher get to say that you can only install a game 3 times before you have to buy a new copy?
I'm fine with a DRM scheme like Steam where I am not limited and actually have far greater freedom with authorized use (including them keeping a backup copy for redownload) at the expense of authenticating online to initiate play along with offline mode.
I'm NOT ok with DRM that automatically assumes I'm a criminal and limits my use of the software to try to prevent unauthorized use which it won't prevent. |
