Normally I'd be all for reserving judgement. Normally I'd never argue something without more than speculation and circumstantial evidence to back it up. The paranoid filled-with-misinformation SecuROM rants annoy me too.

But you have to realize that once they have our money (and we, lucky us, get SecuROM (installing without telling us) and possibly a 3-activations limit without being warned about it) it is too late to try to make the public aware of the customer-unfriendly lalalala they may have to deal with.

EDIT:
Err, that didn't make as much sense as I thought it did. Let me just sum it up with:
The suggestion to "stay quiet and trust EA will be good to their customers!" likely won't work for people who's read about the Mass Effect controversy.
