more games should have this anti piracy scheme. I was soo sad when crytec said there will be no more PC exclusives. 10 days is a bit extravagent but 30 days seems very fair but you can refresh whenver you want

Why do game companies keep trying to re-invent the wheel with anti-piracy schemes. Unless I am mistaken, Company of Heroes nailed it, and so did Valve. Why can't other game developers follow these models?

Thank you Bioware. I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to play Spore. I don't mind authenticating my games once (still means you must have an internet connection though), but having a service that runs all the time checking your games is too much. Even having to make sure you have an internet connection every time you play is too much.
