Following in Ubisoft's footsteps, Electronic Arts has confirmed that upcoming games from the publisher will include the very controversial "always on" DRM scheme that forces gamers to be connected to the Internet at all times or lose the ability to play their games.

Hope it's not a repost.

Woooo, more games that I won't be buying.

 

[SkillzKillz]

What's this going to solve? Nothing.

 

[.:hybrid:.]

I hope steam rejects this world wide like they did in the UK.

 

[rpm666]

If I don't buy the game, then there's no problem.

 

[RallyMaster]

I sure hope DICE and Bioware continue resisting this kinda crap.

 

[lordikon]

Well EA, it's been real.

[The Mad Mule]

Well, at least this happened after they released Bad Company 2.

...Wait, crap, does this mean that Battlefield 3 will have...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

(Or am I confusing publishers with the developers again?)

 

[Smoka Cola]

Oh good, I thought it was a game I'd actually enjoy from EA.

On a serious note, judging how their login for BFBC2 keeps failing, I don't think I'd ever buy a game from EA. Ever. If it had this DRM tagged on it.

Considering they just stripped BC2 of it's DRM I don't think this will stay.

They just need to fix BC2 completely, I'm getting tired of the game closing between rounds. Plus the random glitches thro the maps, shooting invisible rocks pisses me off.

So EA is out because I refuse to suffer through this stupid DRM. Activision is out because, well, they're just evil.......looks like I'm not buying any new games in the future....

 

[Raiden911]

what happens if one doesn't have the Internet?

 

[Anth0789]

Great more games will fail because of this DRM crap. I feel bad for the people that dont have Internet and will buy a DRM game.

[serge2k]

I hope they set record rates for piracy and then get sued.

Again.

edit: Even IF the steam versions are clean this is still 100% garbage.

It's interesting how hard the computer game industry is trying to kill itself. EA backed off of their old annoying DRM policy due to pressure, but now they're going for this instead?
