Jesus Christ facepalm.
Now if it was called ballslapper......
So much win.
I'd say that's a win, wouldn't you? They could have been like EA an not given a shit.
Steven is running the joint now? I can live with that.
Now where's my second Episode of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency?
Everything IS connected you know.
Amen Brother. Amen.
The guy from EA support kept saying "this game is kind of old, that's why you are having issues with the serial key"
This is troubling. EA should not be determining the shelf life of their games AFTER a purchase. That's total bullshit. I have games that I can play that I bought 10 years ago. Mass Effect is BARELY 4 years old.
1. I don't need EA telling me how many times I can install a game I purchased.
2. Pirates don't have activation limits. The only people that this is affecting is someone that legally bought the game.
In other words their shitty DRM does not work.
EA and companies that put an abusive amount of DRM on their games just make a very compelling reason to pirate.
I just bought DA 2 today for 5 bucks from Amazon (Thanks Moneysaver!)
1. Before I could install the game I had to input a CD key (cool, I could live with that)
2. Once the install was finished, I had to go through a "release date" verification (WTF?)
3. Then I was told that my email address didn't match another verification check (retype CD Key)
4. Once the game finally launched I had to login AGAIN to EA/bioware servers
Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with EA?
This is after spending an hour and a half with EA support on Christmas because I ran out of the allotted activations (5) for Mass Effect and could not play the game. They had to give me a new serial key. This is a game that I have a physical copy w/with CD key that I bout from a retail store when the game came out..
Not to mention how they are consistently screwing people out of their money by removing content or disabling games that people paid for.
People think Activision is bad, EA is the fucking WORST.
Sweet.
