DRM = More people buy the game before it gets cracked = Higher sales. Capitalism wins.It's not EA's fault for putting DRM into the game. It's the pirates' fault for forcing them to do it. It's the pirates that are hurting the consumer.Besides, it's kind of a non-issue anyway. DRM is just an excuse for the pirates to ease their guilty consciences... even if EA stops putting DRM into their games, the pirates will just continue on pirating, and EA will lose even more money because the piracy rate will go up.
Has been a couple of days, so this prolly will go unnoticed, but it's not working because the game was on public torrent networks more than a week before launch, so nobody (well except preorders I guess) bought the game because an illegal copy was available.I'm arguing the fact that this kind of DRM is, or not, working, not who's fault is that the publishers have to do something to stop piracy.

Gtfo of this industry. I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of limiting the industry like that.

Back then, EA also published the best games. M.U.L.E. and Mail Order Monsters come to mind........
