As much as I'm looking forward to this I don't think I'll be buying this game.
PC gaming will be killed off even sooner than expected.
EA has announced an intention to continue using the controversial SecurROM copy protection software with the upcoming Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, despite the massively negative reaction the DRM software has met with in previous products.
Companies such as Take-Two and Electronic Arts have received backlash from users after including the draconian copy protection system SecuROM. The system has been used in games such as BioShock and Mass Effect, with Spore currently taking a customer-review bashing on Amazon for its inclusion of the software.
EA has now confirmed that it won't be dropping the system however and will include it in Red Alert 3, though the SecuROM system will be tweaked. Players will now be allowed five active installs of the game at any one time, the software only authenticate on first-run and you will not need the disc in the drive to play according to a discussion on the EA forums.

) as that is a VERY good scare tactic but it should really be aimed at the uploader(the hoster) then we wouldnt get this. They are just punishing the legit buyers, i have my doubts about RA3 as it looks more cartoony then i ever remember but will wait for the demo as securom and stuff wont stop me buying a game, sure it will annoy me alot but if its a good game then its worth it for example, mass effect is a great game and the security never caused me an issue. I wish companies like EA would realise that they are killing themselves because if they release bad games then people will be even less inclined to buy them with this in effect, best way is to just spam the letters asking for money/legal action or they could find a better method of game management and so cd cracks etc dont work.



I guess we're expected to do quite well
