What I'm complaining mainly is the limited number of installs and the fact that we don't know for sure if EA will release a patch to remove all that DRM after a year or two. I can post the pictures for Bioshock and Mass Effect. And if Bioshock it's not a subject to complain (well, it is partially, but Take Two said that they will remove the protection completely next year), Mass Effect is. Ranging from poor support to the limited number of installs mainly. Yes, I do rant on the EA official forums, too. And, I won't buy the games that I wanted to buy this autumn from EA. It's my choice.
That being said, I'd leave the matter to a rest and I'll hope for a budget edition without a drastical DRM that affects the customers and not the pirates. The pirate versions don't have limited install numbers, nor a need for online activation(i can partially accept the last, but not a limited install number). Not buying, not playing and this is it. Hell, I have friends working at the Ubi, EA and Activision/Blizzard and they are doing the same. Not even them aren't happy with the new policies as they see the effects of the new DRM first hand. The tech support number is costly, the customers aren't happy, they are swamped in calls, mostly that are sounding threatening and they are tied to the company's policies. I feel sorry for them, as the decisions are taken by the higher ups and those aren't willing to hear about the things that they deal with on a daily basis. What can I say, when you trat customers like stray dogs, don't expect a rise in popularity charts.
