EA & DRM
EA has a long history of removing any rights from forum users to bring up topics such as DRM. EA just tells people to "shut it".
Current (or is it now closed?) BETA testers for RA3 have been at the swift hand of forum moderators in regards to DRM. So have BETA testers for other EA games.
"There is no DRM contained in RA3 that will have any impact on users what so ever". - EA DEV.
"Sony SecuROM is active in this product". - Myself.
"No it isn't". EA DEV.
"It is shown on the request allow/deny screen on launch". Myself.
"Oh that. That is only part of protecting sold copies and stop multi code usage". EA DEV.
"So it is active on this product?" Myself.
"Well if there is a popup request i guess so, but i am sure it will not be there in final release." EA DEV.
Hmmm. Go EA.... I think....
Have a look yourself...

The only bonus to this of course is cracked .exe's. Even though i own every-single-C&C produced (was at each launch night) i take part in the dark side of .exe's for EA products.
EA not only does not communicate well with it's users, alpha or beta testers but just kicks you in the head for attempting to help at all.
Please just release via STEAM and be done with it. EA makes baby jesus cry.
For all we are concerned...EA can take a running jump...
Into a bed of nails and broken glass.
