Anti-piracy methods never work. They'd do well to learn from CD Project Red

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.

Just allow people to pirate the game?

Imagine you spend over 2 years working on something and invest millions of dollars into it only to have people just make copies of it and share it for free.

Piracy and pirates are truly the worst thing that could happen to gaming or any industry for that matter. I hate pirates, though atimes I don't blame people cause I don't feel the publishers are doing everything to make things fair to consumers. I don't support pirates, but since publishers show no remores in milking and taking advantage of consumers, I guess its only fair that someone takes advantage of them too.

Pirating was more popular back in the 90's and early 00's and yet it did not stop the industry becoming what it became now. Without pirating there would be less people using the product therefore if one person who usually pirates the game and then buys dlc, doesn't buy the game at all, the developer won't make a cent. In my country pirating is so popular especially back in the 2000 era, you could buy a chipped ps2 from a store also selling unchipped ps2 and then buy 2 Euro games, yet gamestores are still abundant.
