EA Games tries to save face...

Yea, maybe now people won't pirate the hell out of their games.

Its about time. I guess they didn't want to see how deep that rabbit hole went...

Steam itself is a form of DRM... requirement for an internet connection and all... don't get me wrong, I like it and appreciate the convenience of Steam, but I'm annoyed I can't sell my old games, or even give them away (which is what I've usually done).

Anyhow I'm glad EA dropped the DRM while on Steam, since for me double-dipping in the DRM pot is overkill.

Too late for me anyhow - with Bioshock and Crysis Warhead already on my new rig, I'm secureROM'ed up the wazoo already. I usually get no-CD patches for my games, tho, since I can't be bothered to switch DVDs when playing games on the computer (that's so console-ish).
