Well this was disappointing news. I had high hopes for this game, but I'm definitely not buying it now. I stopped playing counterstrike after steam stopped working under wine/cedega every time it updated. Now EA wants me to install spyware just so I can play their game? Insanity. It seems that game companies are following a disturbing trend of attempting to force consumers to accept changes that they (the companies) determine to be appropriate without caring about what the players themselves think. The demo was annoying enough, with the unskippable advertising for the full game every few rounds. But being a demo, it was understandable. Now mandatory spyware in a completed game? Not on my computer. Kind of reminiscent of why I stopped using windows in the first place...
How right you are. I did the exact same thing, and now half-regret having done so, 'cause there won't be a season 2. Really looking forwards to Serenity though.
