The new version of Securom demonstrates just how borked it is (Mass Effect)

I don't think for a minute that EA wants to get out of the PC market. It would completely cut off what I would say is a majority of their customer base.
As for cutting off its customer base, securom is doing that already. They may produce PC games, but I'm certainly not BUYING anything with securom. If they want me to buy, they can remove securom. An Arrr copy will not restrict the number of installs.

This is L&P bc I cant find where I read it but EA is doing this bc they want to get out of PC games and strictly do platform games. If PC game sales go down enough they will discontinue producing them.
This is bullhockey. If they don't want to produce PC games, they simply will stop producing PC games. There is no reason for them to purposely make themselves lose money in order to change their business plan. It's their business plan.

I think it's because they want to limit resales - so you can't sell a used copy of the game. ...even though that's not legal (in the US)
ShortyBoo:
Does anyone know if this is the version they're including with Apartment Life? Because I don't see any way that the limited installs would work at all with TS2 because of how badly programmed and buggy the game is in general. Plus, there's the fact that EAxis is always telling people with problems to reinstall the game, so this could get really bad. I can just see all the angry people complaining because they can't play their game anymore.
