Digital books, digital music, digital games, digital movies... none owned by individuals. the future sure is grim. On the upside, it would free up my bookshelves for real books.

I agree. they have to start thinking "what can we offer our customers that the pirates can't deliver" It may be a box full of useless crap like t-shirt and soundtrack or preferably something better, but they have to start thinking about it the other way.

the FAQ thread at crymod.com is just ridiculous. Who the hell are those people and why do they so willingly accept this form of DRM? Don't they realize that they're making PC gaming worse for all of us?

Entr0py24:
In case of toys or consoles, you can share them without their functionality being limited due to the act sharing. You can always argue that "oh it's not so bad, look at X or Y..." but you have you see this in context of video games. The amount of limitations that this game imposes on users is unprecedented compared to every video games that came before.

That's all fine and well if you're the only player in your household. Think about the consequences if you have 2 or more kids who want to play the game. Do you really think they'll be happy sharing the same account, having same user name associated with all their creations? Would you really buy Spore for each child?
This is just stupidly evil on EA's part.
Plus like others pointed out, it's not really a multiplayer game where you play other players at the same time, so there's no reason to not to allow more accounts per purchase. (except greed that is)

I think it's gotten a lot worse. At least 10~20 years ago, with those floppy drive checks, manual checks, or spinning wheel thingys, you could play the game you pay for indefinitely provided that you took good care of your game and your computer. Now, that's no longer the case. The games come with expiration dates now.

6. Gamers shall have the right to expect that games won't install hidden drivers or other potentially harmful software without their express consent
So games may install drivers and potentially harmful software with consent? That doesn't sound very inviting.
I don't expect big companies like EA to sign up for this, especially when they have to worry about shareholders barking at their necks for more DRM, but I can see small publishers going for it. If only for a bit of extra publicity.
