As other reviewers have kindly pointed out, this game isn't the greatest in the world -- but the assumption by EA that you, in your entire life, will apparently only install this game to your computer (or any of your current computers or future computers) 3 times is just ridiculous. The game has already been pirated and they've gotten past the protection -- instead of "protecting" their investment, EA has just frustrated people to the point where they'll HAVE TO download it in order to play it. Mindbogglingly stupid.
