I have boycotted any EA title for years. And now their draconian DRM practices have been elevated to Orwellian levels with Spore. (that's a pity too.)I fully understand that game pirating is a big issue. But an online game can be controlled far easier than a standalone one. I mean, come on, Blizzard doesn't bury WoW with DRM. I have it installed on 3 computers and can only play on one at a time. DOH! Wow! I wonder how Blizzard achieves that?!I have no issues with the sign on, or even activation (but they should do away it,) but limit to 3 installs? Get lost EA. Only a suit at EA corporate could have dreamt that up.Thanx for nothing (again) EA!
