I don't think I've actually paid for an EA game since C&C Generals. They're run by a bunch of shitheads and I would prefer to never let them touch another cent of my money. I'm pretty much constantly unimpressed by their game lineup (putting out rehashed versions of Madden every year for $70 is not something to smile at), and I don't think that will be changing anytime soon. I figured they would have come to the same conclusion every other company has about DRM, it sucks complete shit and does not stop piracy. But then again I'm not surprised either.

I don't think I'm missing out on anything either as far as not being able to play games multiplayer by playing the pirated copies. Crysis online was basically a poorly conceptualized CTF after thought and SPORE barely even has multiplayer functionality. I'm content with not spending any money on them ever and sticking with single player. I'll stick to CS and single player games.
