Well, this is the worst case scenario, like I said I doubt it will come to this as I think the limit thing is nothing more than a
PR maneuvre to draw attention away from the securom spyware. They'll get rid of it when it comes out, otherwise they'll lose out on the hundreds of dollars I'm sure to spend on expansion packs, which will result in a bigger loss of revenue for them than if I pirated the game for free from the start.
