Reminds me of the PC version of Arkham Asylum, where if you pirated it Batman couldn't glide, and thus you couldn't beat the game XD

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

From the comments at IGN, it seems that this already has been fixed. Anyway can't EA just allow people to pirate the game. These stories just make piriting more popular.
