Then the shock: SecuROM. So it is for me, as long as the game is protected and so can spy me, I'm going to RA3 not buy (can). I do not see it a number of times I may be regarded as potential offenders and allow patronize me install a game. The online activation at HL2 I've been through, it went still. But a Trojan install, voluntarily, so I can play a game? No Way.
EA has already suffered first loss: Mass Effect (also SecuROM) has virtually not sold on PC, despite good reviews and a great feeling. I think if Crysis Warhead and Red Alert 3 also flop (and thus three blockbusters in a row), we have to rethink EA. For me, it is so long: wait. Because if EA wants to sell something, then no spyware on my PC, so I'd love to play the game well.
Too Bad.
