Hey all,

This is an exit from my usual woes, and my anger actually has direction and purpose. Anger purposefully directed towards Electronic Arts, the Games Developer who thinks they can impose limitations into games that honest gamers pay good money for. My discussion is below.

As per my discoveries of EA's SecureROM DRM Installation Limit through my purchasing Dead Space, I have come to the conclusion that Electronic Arts have no right to impose such limits upon something that us, as gamers, thoroughly enjoy - gaming. In the pure sense of the word, we enjoy playing games published by Games and Software Development companies, such as Electronic Arts, and for them to impose said limits is simply outrageous. I personally will NOT let this lie, and as such I would like everyone who reads this blog to follow the links below, and sign the Petition.

Upon talking to a friend, and realising what other people have done relating to Spore, Mass Effect and a few other titles, if we get enough support for this, then I say we go to the BBC, and if anybody else that feels the same about this in the US, then you can go to CBS, ABC, or any other Media body you see fit.
If we take this to EA, they'll probably just brush it under the carpet, but taking it to International Media outlets will make them sit up and take notice.

Also thought people would like to know - there are a total of 4 [yes FOUR, that's one down from the amount of times you can install an EA game] Class Action Lawsuits out against EA, three of which are being fought by the same law firm.

Games that include such DRM include [and not confined to - some games have not been published by EA, yet still have the same DRM Software]:
BioShock,
Mass Effect,
Spore,
Crysis: Warhead,
Dead Space,
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3,
Far Cry 2,
Alone in the Dark, and
Company of Heroes

A website on putting a stop to SecureROM in general has a list of games known to have SecureROM in some form or another

I think that about wraps it up. Anything else you wanna add, comment it
