I recently installed the Sims on my sister's computer, after letting it sit on my dusty shelf for a few years. She's not much of a gamer. And she really enjoyed it.But I wonder -- if the Sims had to call EA just so the game would work, would that have been possible? Would I still be able to prove that I was the legal owner of this game? I bought that game FIVE years ago! I wouldn't keep the receipt! I probably would have even written the CD-KEY in sharpee on the CD itself!I refuse to pay for Spore, because in 5 years, we don't know where EA will be. EA, you're not getting my money.
