I won't be playing the demo at the moment, I'm patient enough to wait for the game. I only downloaded the demo to suport Bioware's goal of 1 million downloads. Though I'm curious how will Bioware know that I downloaded the demo?

Note:
I'm well aware of the specail item I'll aquire if I were to play the demo. I'll play the demo after I beat the full version.

A interesting question I know they can tell you if you beat by if your logged in I assume they know you've downloaded a copy if you log in to play it as well or so I am assuming.

You have to start it and log in to your EA account for your download to be counted in the 1 000 000. If it just sits on your hard rive and you never play it, it won't be counted.



I'm not sure when exactly it happens though (e.g. if it's enough to enter the main menu and log in or if you have to start a new game). All it says on the website is that 'you have to play while logged in to your account'.

Their server logs will tell them.

Edit: Crosspost, so: Or maybe not. Since they specified it as 1 million downloads, not 1 million complete plays, I'd assumed the logging in to your account was only for the item you get for completing the demo. Perhaps I assumed wrong.

Well, I've downloaded the game for both the PC and PS3 (mgiht have to cancel my PS3 pre-order as I can't even read anything on the screen unless the Full Release actually has SD/CRT support... I hate having an HD Console and an SD TV >.>), but I've only used my one account to login to both. Would that count?



To answer my own question: yes, It probably does. I'm assuming they're just keeping track of downloads on a server level. It says a million downloads not a million separate user accounts.

Chris and Co mentioned in the demo faq that you have to login to the demo with your bioware/ea account to be counted as part of the numbers to make up the 1 milllion milestone.
