Unless you’re like me and buy all your EA games via Steam, you’ve got some serious DRM. And once you uninstalled the game, you’ve still got DRM. While EA has released a few game specific tools for removing said DRM, they haven’t exactly made it easy have they? Well good news – EA released a tool today that will help you manage the DRM from any game you’ve uninstalled from your system that was released after May 2008.
Once you download and run the tool, it will take you to a EA website that will scan your system for games with install limits, and then provide you with information on the number of remaining installation slots and how to manage them.
Some of the games covered by this tool include:
- Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
- Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
- Crysis Warhead
- Dead Space
- FIFA Manager 09
- FIFA Soccer 09
- Littlest Pet Shop
- Lord of the Rings Conquest
- Mass Effect
- Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
- Mirror’s Edge
- MySims
- Need for Speed Undercover
- NHL 09
- Spore
- Spore Creature Creator
- The Sims 2 Apartment Life Expansion Pack
- The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff
- The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff
Sounds good. It seems EA is backing off somewhat from its DRM position. The Sims 3 will only sport the oldest DRM of all: a CD-key.
great I have the Sims 2 Mansion
thnx
I HATE IRRESPONSIBLE MISLEADING IDIOTS WHO CAN’T EVEN READ WHAT THEY BLOODY WRITE.
WHICH PART OF THAT ARTICLE STATES THAT DRM WILL NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE FOR THOSE GAMES?????????????????????????????
WHICH PART OF THE ARTICLE STATES THAT DRM WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE GAMES MENTIONED???????????????????????????
NONE… BECAUSE IT F**KING WELL ISN’T… THE TOOL THAT IS TO BE RELEASED IS NOTHING MORE THAN A NOTIFICATION TOOL THAT INFORMS YOU OF TOTAL INSTALLATIONS AND HOW MANY YOU HAVE LEFT… THEN DIRECTS YOU TO EA SUPPORT.
THE DRM IS STILL THERE, THE DRM IS STILL VALID, THE DRM IS STILL ACTIVE.
YOU WRITER, ARE WORTHY OF NOTHING BUT SCORN FOR YOUR INACCURATE, MISLEADING ‘WRITING’!!
STOP WRITING AND PERPETUATING CRAP… GET YOUR ACTS STRAIGHT.
