EA Won't Use DRM For The Sims 3
After taking heavy criticism for the use of SecuROM in Spore and other games, EA has made the decision to go back to simple serial code authentication for The Sims 3. EA's Rod Humble said simply, "We feel like this is a good, time-proven solution that makes it easy for you to play the game without DRM methods that feel overly invasive or leave you concerned about authorization server access in the distant future."
DRM or not after Spore I won't by anymore EA games.
Why not? Surely the point is to teach them a lesson. A lesson they seem to have learned.
Just like when Metalica/Napster incident happened I no longer listen to them
Yes, dammit! These damn musicians wanting to be paid for their work as permitted by law! How dare they?
And I had the CD's so there was no infringement on anyones copyright.
Yes there was. You don't have the right to download copies of music from the internet even if you do already own the CDs.
