Electronic Arts announced that The Sims 3 will not be drm. For playing the game is not online authentication, the player only a serial code. Rod Humble, executive producer of the Sims series, has a blog on the world created. The Sims 3 will appear on June 2 for the PC and Mac.

When asked whether EA in the future, only more series codes and security will apply, said a spokesman for the publisher that there is only such plans exist for The Sims 3.

I can well imagine that The Sims 3 is not as secure.
The vast majority are people / children who have little understanding of computers, you should not bother with the fact what you can not do.
And if there were to do.

1 activation is what I am concerned than enough.
People who download had not already bought.
And the audience is largely not know that you can download games or how to install anything, for example as a DVD.

That is no problem.

EA just any key that is issued on a server. Would you people can go through an account with the first start of the game. (And not from the installer.) You can set a limit of 2 or 3 activating ties while allowing per game. If you want a game from one computer to another, then go to your account, disable the serial number for the old computer and install the new one.

Photoshop and Capture One are also so, and it works fine.

Obviously, there is already a patch ready by EA, which is released when the activation server goes offline on an X number of years. Then you can patch after the installation and just throw out play.

that sound as "easy" but manufacturers who normally deal with people buying their products do not start with the nonsense online activation.

You are ultimately only paying customers suffer because they want to do everything legally, while people who get through TPB have not experienced. DRM is beyond any doubt that something intentionally in a product is stopped to reduce the value here should ever be looked at critically, for example by Consumers.
