EA drops DRM for The Sims 3

<< < (3/4) > >>

Spluff:
So EA have realised nobody is actually going to want to pirate the Sims 3?

Ozymandias:
You're kidding right?

I mean, we are talking about the best selling PC franchise of all time. This is a ridiculous cash cow for EA and the fact that they're willing to take a chance on piracy with it is huge.

David_Dovey:
Let's be fair/realistic. DRM was never an effective way of curtailing piracy, EA learnt that with Spore. They're not exactly "taking a chance with piracy" because the amount of piracy will stay roughly the same regardless of whether it is DRM'd or not. One might even make the contention that there will be less piracy because people who are anti-DRM- albeit probably a very small amount- might be more likely to buy the game than pirate it out of spite.

Melodic:
Now pro-DRM fanatics will pirate the game out of spite!

jmrz:
I'm probably going to actually buy this one. I bought all the original sims, then with sims 2 I just didn't have the money, so I got it from friends or whatever. I will actually have $100AU to go and spend on this game when it comes out, and if I don't buy it for me, someone will buy it for my birthday (which is the week after it comes out), so you know.

And Avec, yeah - my sister used to purposely block her sim children in a one cell room and watch them die, or make them go swimming and take all the steps out, she was mean. I on the other hand, made lovely houses and had perfect sims that had perfect careers and well behaved excellent children. Now I think about it, I don't know which one of us had bigger issues :P
