    wow i just so mad, that's the dumbest up to date ISSUE shit from EA for today..

    "limits you to installing your game on your PC up to 3 times."

    wtf?

    nuh, impossible. IMPOSSBILE!!!!

    that site is bought by EA so they can write whateever they wanna write i don't believe this shit. sorry for that but if it's true i'm gonna feel me dissapointed, cuz they want me to pay for more then 3 TIMES (why not to makke 100 times atleast it would be better then 3...)... I think this system going to be expensive because as you see; not even high-level formatting can delete the system protection thing.. ugh.. wow, just .. awsome idea EA, u should be awarded for making me pay u more money.... ( sort of ...)

    edit: still don't believe. Where is the FREE choise? Where is it? Is this another-UAC vista like- JOKE?

    As some upset replier posted on that site let me quote it here:

    tsk, tsk

    I concur with Nexus upon this issue.

    Seriously though, if this is true... Then that really sucks. What a ridiculous scheme by EA, how can they possibly think that will work?

    EA reminds me of the music industry so much these days. In a pure "trying to hang on to our two decades long dominion over the industry and not reinventing ourselves" kinda way

    If it's true I'm never going to buy a single EA distributed game again.

    I don't think this is a story, I think it's actually real if I'm not much mistaken?
