I've been looking forward to this game for years now. I thought it would never come. And now that it's here I'm totally saddened and appalled that EA would ruin such an incredible legacy for such petty reasons.

There has to be another way to stem piracy without totally obliterating the value of an otherwise excellent game...

It is unfortunate. I've also been waiting on this game for years. On the plus side there are some entertaining 5-star reviews.

That's what EA does best: ruin games. (Yeah, I know there are exceptions).
