Im having this problem now after upgarding my Gpu. Do you know if they found a way around this?
According to Stephen Metalitz, the lawyer for the Entertainment Software Association, who spoke at the
Federal Trade Commission meeting on DRM....the way to get around this problem is to re-purchase the media. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/uncertain.png[/smilie]
Which
is also the message in the ME dialog box that occurs when your 3
activations are used up, as I recall. And while Chis Priestly made the
claim on the old forums that the message was a mistake, I don't think
Bioware ever actually replaced it with anything else, nor have they
removed the activation limits.[smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/sad.png[/smilie]
I
dimly remember there being some kind of download from EA that increased
the number of activations from 3 to 5 for a number of games that came
out around that time (ME, Spore, etc). So you might want to do a search
on that for a temporary reprieve. But If you've already used it, then
you're likely SOL in terms of legal/paragon options.
I'm not
going to debate the whole DRM dilema issue here. This isn't about
whether DRM is good, bad, or indifferent. This is about what the DRM is
actually going to be for DA2? If it's objectionable, I suspect we'll
only be allowed to discuss it in the less visible off-topic area (again)
and I refuse to be blamed for taking this thread off topic.
Bioware
earned back my respect when they released DA:O and ME2 with a much more
acceptable (to me) DRM system than they did with ME. I will be shocked
and disappointed if they repeat the mistakes of the ME-DRM again.
I
posted my question here because I recall CP stating previously, for the
ME2 and DAO releases, that DRM information would be announced with the
rest of the system specs. He has NOT said this for DA2, but it seems
peculiar
to me that their logic would have changed for the DA2 release. And
since the DRM information has not been announced with the rest of the
system specs, and they've not replied to any questions via PM or via
this thread, and recent public statement by EA concerning single player
games and online connectivity are disturbing to me, I'm getting
worried.
I find it hard to believe that CP, Victor, Stanley, or Mike haven't
seen the question by now. So the silence is disturbing to me.
To
the folks who engage in backhanded insults by stating I'm 'just a
whiner' because I dislike over-the-top DRM, I'm not going to reply
in-kind. That would be against forum rules and I also do not intend to
get drawn into a lengthy debate on the subject in this thread.
I'm
a paying customer and I love Bioware's work. But as a consumer I want
to know what terms and restrictions will accompany my purchases. Since I
pre-ordered both the PC and xbox versions together, I want to ensure
that if I have to cancel my existing pre-order because of the DRM, I can
re-preorder the xbox version alone within the signature edition
deadline. IMO it's pretty lousy customer-relations to not provide the
information until after the deadline for the SE.
Bioware have
said previously that the timetable for this information to be released
is with the rest of the system specs. So c'mon Bioware. I'm playing
within the rules and this isn't an unreasonable request is it?[smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/unsure.png[/smilie]
