It's the same as Mass Effect's final DRM scheme. I'm sure the initial 're-activate every ten days' was just put out there to cause a fuss and then make EA look like the good guys for 'only' implementing the current limited installations DRM.
Laughably, the game was cracked and available for download on Torrent sites a couple of days before release. Yet again, people who haven't paid get the better version while EA's own paying customers have to put up with SecuRom malware on their PCs and face making premium rate calls should they use up their activations. It seems quite obvious that DRM is only used to kill off second hand sales, surely no major company is dumb enough to think it affects piracy one iota?
