EA stands for "Egotistical Alienation"

Well, the official post about EA and SecuROM is out, and it's basically this: "Hi! We're EA! We will not take you seriously! Instead we will take Sony seriously, despite their track record."

So, here's a list of EA products I won't be purchasing: The Orange Box, Hellgate: London, The Sims 2 Free Time, The Sims 2 [insert stuff pack here], SimCity Societies, The Sims 3. I figure that's a few hundred dollars they aren't getting from me, plus a few hundred dollars they aren't getting from my fiancé, plus however much in referral sales they aren't getting from me as I tell my friends what a piece of untrustworthy crap SecuROM is and incidentally, remind them that EA's QA has been getting shoddier and shoddier. On principle, I think I will avoid their console titles, too, though I don't know they've got anything upcoming for console I would buy anyhow.

This wouldn't tick me off so much if only I didn't like the Sims. But I do. I love the game. I hate the bugs, the company producing it, and the official site's limitations, but I love the game.

Well, more posts after I figure out if there's a way around the lack of formatting in Picasa's captions.
