I purchased CD of C&C4 , installed it and it says “code already in use” and will not work.
I bought the game, I should be able to put the cd in and play the game without having to jump through hoops and still not get to play the game.
Water flows the easiest route and for peopl;e like us this means cracking the game to play it.
We have to pirate our purchased games these days, and that is enough to put me off investing more money into stitching up the PC gaming industry.

- everyone made intersting points in their posts so far, even Mr.Roach

– the bottom line is DRM (in any form) doesn’t work. its’ not doing what its’ intended to do .. which is, prevent piracy (Settlers 7, which required the player to be online at all times, even when playing a single player game; was cracked within a week)

– from my perspective, greed is the common denominator.

eg: Mafia 2, i was so impressed with the original Mafia that when i heard of Mafia 2 i was intent on buying it blindly. However after some minor research i found that the developers have released half a game, only to have the unreleased content retained as download content (DLC)

– my point is that corporate greed is killing the industry slowly and this being shown more & more as time goes on, wheather it be with over the top DRM or poor value DLC or releasing unfinished games simply to get it on the shelves before Christmas

– even consoles are falling into the pitfalls of PCs, with a constant upgrade in the consoles themselves due to better technology, to online activations (this better or worse argument is slowly becoming void)

– as far as the intial blog, this thread of posters has answered my question. is the 3 time activation DRM still implimented? No, Maxis took it away because it failed. (further reading is needed to see if EA or others still has it under policy)

i’m not understanding why the hell people are still buying games for the PC.. you always have to be upgrading, your always having to deal with the bullshit.. i go to K Mart and buy the knew CIV V and the game is to advanced for my processors.. i just bought this computer last year.. and now if i want to play CIV V i have to purchase a whole new computer.. they should truly drop this PC gaming bullshit. i would like to know out of however many sells they had, how much games were returned back to the store because they didn’t meet requirements.. fuck this bullshit PC gaming. the real money is in the console

You can buy this from steam and play/install it on unlimited computer, i think EA should’ve done the same thing with Spore by assining the key to your email account.

The main problem I have with DRM is this: whenever something tries to install securom on my computer, it blue screens, so I have copies of Battlefield 2, 2142, SimCity, Sims 2, and Spore on my shelf, and I can’t use them.

so lemme get this straight…..cuz i just found out about this
…
the whole time my sims 2 copies were messing up were because of something EA installed?….
and hypothetically speaking…lets say i buy Sims 3 and my friend wants a copy….i cant burn a copy and give’em 1?…whats the point of the CD copier on a computer then?!?!…OR another senario…if i wanted to lend him MY old copy after a few expansions come out…i cant?!!
….ugh…..why make something so fun …so difficult….

We already know that DRM doesn't work, there really is no point talking about it. The owner of Apple even admits that DRM in itunes hurts the legal customer not the pirate. This is why they came up with itunes plus. You pay an additional $0.30 for your songs and the DRM goes away. The people who said calling EA support will solve the problem have either never dealed with EA support before or are lieing. EA support sucks. If you ever want to solve a problem you are going to have to do it yourself. More usful than the EA support is a magical thing called the google search bar. I hate everything about activation. What happend to the good old days when you installed a program and it worked. If you reinstalled a program it still worked. This is horrible. Me and my brother install our games on both our computers. This puts an end to that. As if EA games were not expensive enough. -mike

This was an easy fix. I bought this for my daughter and installed on 3 pc’s before just buying her a new one. Of course on the 4th pc it wouldnt work (3 times the limit). I called EA, gave them my registration code and email, and he fixed it *poof* that easy.

*Gasp* Say it isn’t so? I guess I am caught red-handed. If that’s the case, then according my picture of all the Maxis games I have – http://www.simprograms.com/images/misc/bedroom_06.jpg I guess I made a prop case of the Galactic Edition as well as a fake case for the Spore Creature Creator. Same goes with all of my Maxis games.

Yeah, drink your shutup juice and stay off of this site until you get your facts straight.

-Good day!

Roach and cock are both fitting names for you my friend.
I buy software i don’t rent it.

If i buy a copy of a game or software then I OWN THAT COPY.
Not the rights of the game but that copy.

If i want to spend the whole day installing and then un-installing it that is my fuckin’ business and my right – i paid for the motherfucker.

I wouldn’t own an EA game if it was free – they are without a doubt the worst game publisher in the business.

All EA is doing is pissing people off and turning average users TOWARDS PIRACY. I hate EA and if i wanted one of their games i sure wouldn’t buy it i would pirate it and feel damn good about it.

Fuck EA
