I was really looking forward to the game mad, because back then I loved the first part. How to read now in other reviews here, but it is amazing what Electronic Arts now everything required by the customer who has indeed duly paid the game. One does not enter a code, but also create an Electronic Arts account. Here you must specify, inter alia, name, first name, gender and date of birth. It is a permanent internet connection required and it must be opened no other program. I find the privacy policy of great concern (see below). The attached code is connected to the EA Account and can not be used elsewhere. So can the game no longer resell, as I was generously recommended from Amazon customer service, if you like me finds that the game can not be started on the laptop because the graphics card indeed qualifies - but the game no integrated graphics cards support. These things I have here so can not see in the product description. The note I got from customer service of Electronic Arts, with the addition that there is no support for laptops is possible. So now I'm standing there, play opened in good faith that the conditions are met, no error message in the installation process, the DXDiag notes no problems, but as I said - integrated graphics card, yah. Apart from the fact that a layman like me it has no idea. I have bought a game and want to play it. Point. The Amazon customer does not feel responsible because the game is open. Electronic Arts does not feel responsible - no support for laptops. So I stay on the costs sit. Something happens but also a once in a lifetime. For me, the consequence: no more games from Electronic Arts. Otherwise I must soon even switch on the webcam, so that can check whether I myself am sitting in front of the screen ....
