Jeeesus, so many broken hearts here. Guys, you only need to have an internet connection on your PC every 10 days, and pretty much any PC has internet nowadays, so stop wining.

Both security methods might be a little troubling for some true owners, but it sure as hell is going to be terrible for pirates. If this will be able to delay the pirated version for a couple of weeks after the release of Mass Effect, then it's a good thing.

FTA apparently Spore may also do this which would be interesting if true as that's definitely going to be one of the biggest PC games if not the biggest this year.

But it doesn't affect SPORE much since you actually need to connect to the internet to get all the user made goodies.

How much would you like to bet me that the scene release of ME beats the street date by several days?

The idea that it would take scene groups weeks to break this copy protection is, quite frankly, absurd.

Bioshock used a not-so-tight Securom version, and it was able to stay uncracked for 13 days.
