  10 days? Try 6 months or a year; that sounds a lot more reasonable. Unless they're expecting these games to be so popular, each person on the planet owns four copies.

  That's just messed up, I can understand 1 month at the very very least...but 10 days? Jezz, that's just insane.

  I'll worry first about whether or not my computer can even run Spore, but, yeah, every 10 days seems excessive.

  And that is the only solution they could come up with? I'm thinking this will hinder sales a bit.

  And a thousand pirates cried out in anguish. For about a week before they find a way around this, then those who buy the games will be the only ones dealing with this.

    Indeed. Why can't every company be like Stardock and Sins of a Solar Empire and release with minimal DRM?
    
    Pirates can always find a workaround, and are willing to jump through any and all hoops there are, which makes this rather redundant in it's original purpose which was to stop privacy proliferation, and at the same time annoy those who legitimitely bought a copy.

      Yeah, at this point copy protection/DRM may as well be a baby with a toy going "goo goo, ga ga" (admittedly baby's can be very very scary when they want to be).

    Very true. Things like this only spur the hacking community to go the extra mile and create self-patching .exe's that take care of everything for total pirate newbies. I'm surprised Bioware pulled this stunt, I thought they were smarter than that.

  So what, you can still play it. Just re activate when ever you want to go on it.

    There's a reason accounts get deactivated. It's so other people can use them. You have to create a new account altogether, which gets annoying if you have a lot of work put into it.

  Apparently Mass Effect's authentication process is being ditched. No word on Spore.
