The DLC was only like 5 dollars.  It's not that big a deal.

They could hardly ask us to pay for it. I'm looking forward to the inevitable user-content, that is, if Bioware is smart and supports user content.

Seeing as I couldn't be arsed with most of  the shitty side-missions in the 360 version, I might give this mission a go as it seems more fleshed out than the rest.

According to Derek French, Mass Effect, scheduled to arrive on the PC this 28th, will employ the same SecuROM online activation system that was initially put into Bioshock, allowing the buyer to activate his copy of Mass Effect for 3 times before politely asking to him / her to go to hell, that is, contact the customer service “helpline” to get it reactivated. And while the game itself wouldn’t require the DVD to be physically present in the drive, it goes one step further and phones home every 10 days and re-authenticates just to make sure legit customers are not the worst form of criminal scum publishers swear we are.

The authentication, which will be initialized every time you run MassEffect.exe, will send the CD Key and a unique machine identifier to the activation servers, which will be cross-referenced with the data that was sent when the game was initially activated. Well, actually, it runs screaming to Mama every 5 days, but if it can’t connect, it will still allow you to save the galaxy and sleep around with Asari consorts for another 5 days, presumably reminding you to re-activate often with the dogged persistence of a James Bond doomsday death clock

Sure, I have an always-on net connection but what happens if I don’t play for 11 days and the moment I want to play my connection is down? Are you saying I’m not going to be able to play my perfectly legitimate purchased copy of the game, even the retail version, until I get permission?

That is correct. And I would suggest that you contact EA Support the moment this happens (once you get your internet back) to report the issue. If there are people having problems with the system as designed, then Support needs to hear about it so they can help us evaluate it for the next game title.

Haha, where you at Borys? Tounging my balls, I hope

It took hackers like two whole weeks to bypass Bioshock's securom protection. Definitely worth screwing over legitimate owners forever to stick it to the pirates for two weeks. :bow EA :bow2

2 weeks is a pretty big difference for hardcore gamers, especially for a highly anticipated title like Bioshock.  IIRC, Bioshock was actually one of the best selling PC titles of 2007.

Dunno what's the fuss here. Every way to hit on dirty poor pirates like the ones posting here is A-OK in my book.

Every PC game should require live internet connection, even SP only adventures.

I don't see what's the big deal either.  Almost every modern PC is connected to the internet anyways.

Borys, please, we Evilboreans are rich pirates. We pirate because we can, not because we must.
