Guess I won't be doing that again.? His post was edited by BioWare to remove 'language'. Up to today, I've defended EA when other people refer to it as 'the evil empire' and such-like. What's really funny is EA makes the calls (yeh, it won't change you guys at all, uh huh) and you are the one who's going to take the blame for it. Good bye, so long, enjoy the PR beating that you are inevitably going to receive when MEPC actually gets released. I'd rather have honest contempt than hypocrisy any day of the week. And it's equally nice that Bioware has decided the same.

SecuROM also makes playing the game without an Internet connection impossible, as has been confirmed by BioWare.Īnother issue was seen with BioShock, which also used SecuROM and suffered from the authentication servers grinding to a halt due to high levels of demand. It is only possible to activate the game on three separate machines, meaning that anyone purchasing a pre-owned copy is gambling that the three attempts have not already been used up. While the measure is labelled as an anti-piracy step, it will also make re-sale of the game problematic. If the check is not successfully performed within the 10 day period, Mass Effect will not run until an online check is successful.?Ĭhecks are run continually every 10 days subsequently.ĭerek French, a Technical Producer at BioWare, has said that Spore - also published by EA - will use SecuROM. If it can't contact the server before the 10 days are up, the game still runs and it will re-check until it is successful. After the first activation, SecuROM requires that it re-check with the server within ten days in order to revalidate the CD key.
