EA's brilliant new DRM scheme.

[shingletingle]

Yeah, I know it's a printing error but it's yet another issue EA does not need.

Yeah, I was really happy when I cracked open RA3 to find that the last character was missing.

I wonder why no one is giving props to Bethesda for their disk check-only copy-protection on Fallout 3. No install limits or activation demands - just install and play. You'd think all the whiners would've been singing the praises of such a respectful setup, but instead, it's crickets.

Fallout 3 players are probably distracted from their DRM scheme by the plentiful bugs and lack of mod tools.

We did, before the game came out. We're all focused on the fact the game needs a patch NOW.

Nice work EA. Love their solution even better.

You can bypass the Disc check completely by not using the launcher.exe and link directly to fallout3.exe.

Ahaha "Guess the last character, try from 0-9 and A-Z and you will get it eventually" what a joke... lol. If the entire code needs to be retyped each time then thats an even bigger kick in the balls.

I believe somone said the code needs to be retyped after 3 failed attempts. What a lousy solution.

Or maybe they are actually playing the game instead of complaining about the DRM? What a concept!

No, they're complaining about the bugs. Have you checked out the threads lately?

Next step: not even including the game. Try to copy it now!

Wow! I can honestly say that I wouldn't ever buy something from a company that said that to me ever again. I now truly plan on avoiding all EA PC games until things are changed there. Maybe 10 years down the road they will change for the better, or just go bankrupt because they alienated so many costumers.

Have you even glanced at the PC gaming page lately?

We sang praises by purchasing the game

One of the better things about FC2 is there's no EA logos ( i don't think)

We did give it praise, by BUYING it, I don't buy EA games, and I bought Fallout 3, thats all the praise Bethesda wants.
