Does anyone thing any changes will come of this? Or do you think EA will say, shit our game is the #1 pirated game of all time, step up the DRM?
I gotta admit I'm getting quite disappointed that games seem to be going towards a perpetual licensing type thing where we will basically be renting games for the rest of our lives, similar to MMOs. Want to play Spore 2? 5.99$/month per account and $59.99 for the initial game.
Ultimately I think it only hurts PC sales. I don't know about you guys, but when I was heavy into MMOs, I wasn't buying other games, cause I didn't have time or feel the desire to shell out more than the 30$ I was spending on subs.
I also don't like how the accounts are tied to the keys, so if you wanted to loan your game out to a friend or resell it later, you have to relinquish your account.
Stupid, I think, but I'm sure EA thinks its extremely good... to pad their wallets.
