the game got 1.5 stars because 30 people gave it a 1. This drm is going to ruin the sales of crysis warhead, so crytek is going to go consoles now. Great job EA!

We're talking about people who probably never even played Crysis Warhead. They're people who are simply trolling. And I'll say that they're the same guys who trolled Spore for it's DRM.

The DRM was never that bad, and EA's future implementations are going to make the DRM way better (increase of activations, and recovery of used activations through unistallation)

Seriously, shut the fuck up. The DRM in Spore allows you to install an UNLIMITED times!! Not just 3, but infinite times. God, I bet most people don't even understand how Spore's DRM works...

 

Even if you're correct, the confusion over the issue is entirely EA's fault. If they can't effectively communicate to their customer base, they will pay the price for that.

The mass market likes it when things are kept simple. Shortsighted businesses like to complicate things because confusion gives experts more power. Consumers shouldn't have to invest an hour of research into the details of DRM on a product before they decide if the purchase is worthwhile.
