The DRM scheme is simply unacceptable. It does not stop piracy at all and in fact seems to encourage it en mass. End result is it only tells legitimate consumers that you are sheep and we can fleece you. Moreover you will not resale the tile and get any money back. This is simply about control of a product after the initial sale and dont believe otherwise.You are a renter or a short term subscriber at best only. You did not think you really purchased anything did you?I loved SimCity and SimEarth but this title has been picked apart to be monetized as much as possible as well as dumbed down for casual and ADD people. It is not the magnum opus of Wil that we all thought we were getting it is simply a revenue stream builder for the EA portfolio.
