EA, pretty much telling you to eat it.

With the release of Red Alert 3 coming soon, and the bashing of the DRM on Spore and other recent games still fresh, EA probably should have thought about keeping DRM on future games, but no. Welcome to the DRM Red Alert 3 bundle! EA is now giving you 5(!!!!!) READ: 5! Installs instead of 3!
Enjoy your RTS and its limited replayability. The Soviet Union is most displeased by this act of selfishness.

This game isnt even worth torrenting.
Not that I torrent anything. Just saying.
@ chou:
games not even out yet, so the only way you could even think to have that information was if you had precognition.
so tell me, how does the world end Chou, HOW DOES IT END?
I don’t think DRM is the way to go. With DRM you only frustrate the consumers not the people who crack the game.
David: Where there’s a will, theres a way. Remember that.
Red Alert 3 is pretty high up on my ‘must buy’ list this year.
Does the DRM bother me? Of course it does. Do I really give a crap though? No. And i don’t get why sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many people bitch about this situation. Do they really buy a game, and install it on 7500000 computers anyways? Last i checked, when i buy a game, i install it ONCE. And by the time i feel like playing it again, they usually have removed the install limits anyways (just look at bioshock).
The only thing i can see hurtful is that it requires an internet connection to activate. I assume that 90% of PC gamers HAVE the internet, so what’s the problem?
Well, considering that ive formatted my hard drive at least twice in two years, and the fact that if I need HDD room, i uninstall the game and save my profile until a later date, its a pretty big problem.
