Petition of Gamers for EA to Remove the Rights-violating DRM
Sign Now
As you may or may not know, EA recently published the games Spore and Crysis:Warhead. Both of these games are great games that DESERVE to be purchased and played, but will not be for the following reason:
EA has decided to include DRM (Digital Rights Management[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Rights_Management ]) in the form of SecuROM [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SecuROM ]. In doing so, EA has also imposed an installation limit of how many times you may install the game. Also, if you change your computer hardware at any time, this counts as another installation. The DRM is also present on the downloaded Steam version.
There have already been hundreds of 1/5 star ratings on Amazon and other sites of the like, so this petition is here to unify the concerned customers so that EA may fully recognize its error. Supposedly, if you call into EA's customer support, they will handle giving you more activations on a "case by case basis", but from what I have read around, they are not granting very many.
This petition is to show EA how big of a mistake they are making, and by signing you are saying that you STRONGLY disagree with their decision. You may also include if you are no longer planning on purchasing the game, or if you already have and are using a crack for it. Let the public know about the violation of rights that EA is so willingly ready to commit. When this gets 5,000 signees, I will submit it to all major news circuits, so spread it around.
