- EA deserve to lose business over this
The DRM discussion has been covered very eloquently already. I'd just like to breifly add my voice to the debate by re-emphasizing that DRM, and this DRM system in particular, are uninstallable and use up your CPU cycles. You should get angry about this theft of your pc's processing power. Yes, it is minute, but every DRM installation steals a little bit more. Quite apart from the obnoxious and offensive assumption of your guilt.
I was all ready to purchase this game as it sounds great but I refuse to accept the disgusting spyware that comes as a compulsory part of the installation, so EA have definitely lost at least one sale. Judging by the comments here, they have also lost a lot more, and I am very glad about that.
If you went to a clothes shop and were told that you could not come in unless you had a security guard follow you around on your shoulder the whole time, even after you have paid for your goods, I hope you would be incensed enough to tell the store where to get off. If so, you should care just as much about EA doing the precise software equivalent.
Tell them where to get off too, by NOT buying this game.
Rating: - Don't waste your money on this simple, DRM ridden junk
The gameplay is simple and no challenge at all. The DRM crap gives you just 3 installs, so you really are just renting the game - have fun trying to play it in 5 years time (not that you'd want to most likely). The people who pirate the game are getting a better game than the paying customers which is absurd.
In my opinion it's money out the window; not worth your time. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. Skip this title.
Rating: - Bah, Securom got me after all
Unbelievable, i avoid playing Bioshock on my new computer, due to the Securom fiasco and installing trojan nonsense on my computer....and spore goes and puts it on instead. I am furious that even after Bioshock, this kind of "limited installs" and rootkit hijacking is still going on.

This game contains crippling DRMs that invade your OS horribly, and turn your 'purchase' into nothing more than a glorified rental
Disgusting. Do not buy. Do not allow this kind of software onto your PC any more than you'd allow a dirty syringe into your skin.
Rating: - S-poor support
I actually played this game for a while before foolishly installing the upgrade to patch 1.0.1, installing the patch caused my pc to lose all sound in all games, there is no such thing as technical support in EA, the patch breaks your pc, unlucky.
