Default EA boycott
I'm boycotting EA's upcoming games until they remove the three/five install limit.

I'm perfectly ok with having to have the CD in the computer to play a game, even though it makes no sense, but limiting my installs is just god damn insulting as a paying customer.

We, the undersigned, will not buy another EA game on any platform until they remove this insulting and negative restriction of digital rights.

Whilst a boycott *might* make them see sense. I think it will have the same effect as Newcastle fans boycotting the next home game......

I'm in, i hate having to put cd/dvd in when i want to play a game but a three/five install limit is just ridiculous since i install games off and on lots of times to save space for other games, when i install/re-install an OS or whatever.

Whats the whole point to making you install games only 5 times??
