dude to Ea's piracy thing, I expect Mass Effect PC to be epic fail and I hope it does.

They changed it to a one time online authentication, and you no longer need the disc in the drive to play. Unless you are talking about only being able to install it on 3 computers, which is annoying.

ok your completely wrong. Here is what their piracy thing still does.

1. Online Authentication every 10 days unless you don't use online features then it will authenticate every online session (basically kicking the MMO game Spore in the balls).

2. The games can ONLY BE INSTALLED THREE TIMES. It isn't only 3 computers, its installed a total of 3 times. After that, you will be calling EA too allow every install afterwards.

 

What they removed is the need to always check every 10 days. So if you use Mass Effect's offline features for 2 months, your good. But once you connect to the internet you have to authenticate the software.

You are way off-base ssj12. Mass Effect's copy protection consists of:

- 1-time-only Online Authentication when you install the game.

- Online Authentication every time you download content (such as patches or the free Bring Down the Sky DLC)

- Unlimited installations on up to 3 activations on different PC's (you can get more activations by contacting EA).

The advantage is you can play Mass Effect without the DVD (You only need the DVD for the online authentication).
