If this thing goes the same way as some other online games have gone, there will be cracked copies and cracked servers up and running within a month of release

. Said servers will also provide cracked updates, So EA should be real careful about alienating their customers like this.
I have an Internet connection so the online activation thing doesn't really bug me(unless the relevant server is down or worse no longer in existence). But this limited number of times that
I can activate
my disc using
my profile really REALLY sucks. SO EA DON'T SAY WE DIDN'T TRY TO TELL YOU!!!
