We're all pirates and too stupid to understand

I think the image in your sig is waaaay too big. :rotfl:

I agree with what you said though. Locked doors only keep honest people out. Can you imagine what your house would be like if we tried half as hard to protect our own homes as companies do to protect a game?

I dont understand what the problem is. I dont agree with the DRM stuff but its not the end of the world. So it limits people to 3 computers? Most people only have one comp anyway. If your greedy enough to have more computers then you have install limits then thats your problem

That's not really the issue. The big issue is people upgrade their computers or reinstall Windows. Even if you simply reinstall Windows that counts as an authorization. You can install unlimited times on a computer with the same hardware profile SecuROM builds. Change the simplest of things or reinstall Windows and those 3 authorizations go by in a hurry.

I reformat my PC at least once every 3 months

There is hope in the dark hole full of malware,drm,limited activations that is plaguing PC gaming nowadays.

Notice this on Bluesnews :
More EA/SecuROM Lawsuits

It is very good, it happened already with Ubi Soft and they had to remove this kind of pos from some of their products to the benefit of their customers, hopefully it will happen the same with EA.

Maybe one day we will be able to play games again without all those annoyances that are touching only legitimate customers.

I'm quite amused by big time companies like EA or Ubisoft screaming "doom doom doom" over their supposedly failing war against piracy. It turns out going Gestapo on the whole town just to get a few guys doesn't work. Who knew right?

What I think is really funny is that their are PLENTY of PC games using no DRM at all, and they sell just fine. Tell me, why don't you hear CA complain about rampant piracy every time they release a Total War game? How about Valve and Stardock? Why aren't they manufacturing all sorts of wierd arguments backed up by vague evidence and claims?

Could it be that the threat posed by pirates is blown completely out of proportion? And that EA is full of ****?
