So, a little about me. I have purchased 4 versions of Baldur’s Gate, 3 versions of Baldur’s Gate 2, 3 versions of Neverwinter Nights, 2  versions of Jade Empire, 2 versions of Knights of the Old Republic, and most recently, a Collector’s Edition copy of Dragon Age Origins for PC. These are registered to my Bioware account. You can check.
Three weeks ago I went to a local retailer to pre-order my Collector’s Edition of Dragon Age Origins. They had run out of pre-orders for that, so I pre-ordered the regular edition. Then last Monday evening I went back to the store and paid to upgrade my pre-order to the Collector’s Edition because they had been sent two more copies than had been pre-ordered. Then I went back to the store at midnight and picked it up. I installed the game and made sure that I used the same account as for the Character Creator and that it was an EA Master Account. You can check all of this with this account to see what pre-order bonuses and collector’s edition bonuses have been registered to this account. In fact, please do.
I then paid an additional amount for the Warden’s Keep DLC, which required more personal information than is normal for an online transaction involving Paypal, but I went through that as well.
I then played through 5 hours of the Dragon Age Journeys website to get the unlockable in game content from the flash game.
All in all, do you have any idea how many codes I have entered, how many different forms and registrations I have filled out, and how much personal information I have provided about myself in order to play this game and this content? I have login accounts at EA, BioWare, The Dragon Age Social Beta, Dragon Age Journeys, and in the game itself!!!
Add to this the idea that if I had purchased the digital copy there would be no disc check to play!
So, am I a loyal customer? I would say so. 
Have I done my part to register, authorize, sign up, login, etc? I would say so.
There is absolutely no purpose or value to the inconvenience of forcing the people who purchased physical copies to make sure the disc is in the drive at all times. God forbid I should ever actually use my computer for anything aside from a Dragon Age disc holder.
Let me ask you, when you are at work, how would you feel if every time you used a piece of software whether it be a web browser or Microsoft Office you needed to scuttle about and fine your one and only copy of the disc and keep it in the drive? Codewarrior? Where did I leave that disc? Email?  Damn, that disc got scratched. It is an inconvenience that can not be justified given the amount of registration I have provided for this software.
I am asking you to remove the disc check from Dragon Age Origins immediately for all registered users whom you are punishing for having purchased the physical copy.

Too much discussion of software piracy and ways of circumventing copy protection and DRM. That's not permitted here.



End of line.
