Just looking at some of the comments here has made me realise what a catastrophe this release has become.

I refused to buy this game because of SecureROM, which is a shame, because it looks like a fun game, but now with people being unable to logon, and the first patch screwing up the game as well, I think this game may end up costing EA a serious amount of money, rather than earning them profit. Plenty of less computer literate people will be taking their games back for refunds, rather than hunting through forums for answers.

They say PC gaming is dying out. I refute this, as I believe it is strong as it always has been. What is different is the attitude towards the PC user that criminalises them that console owners aren't.

Frankly, I want to see EA fall flat on their face here, because it is the only way that they will learn that they cannot mess with their consumer base.
