Its like they're purposely driving to give work to the professional crackers.

Had there actually been SecuROM found with the game code (not just a DRM date-check; which in itself is harmless) then I could see the controversy. As it stands, the amount of errant code that gets leftover is insignificant, and the accusation of it being SecuROM just because it came from Sony DADC is a flimsy argument.

Yes, EA didn't disclose the DRM date-check; but that's fine since they flat out state that the game does an on-site DRM check on bootup.

While I normally appreciate their work and dedication, RYC's argument, while technically correct, isn't worth stirring up a shitstorm over.

This may be true, however, this episode just goes to show how out of touch the publishers and devs are with the community.

How have they not learned by now, that you DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH SECUROM OR ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH IT, unless you want to brew a (legitimate or not) shitstorm?
The fact is that the word SECUROM is now branded as evil in the minds of anyone who knows anything about DRM and gaming.

Way ahead of you there: I actually have several posts and analysis on that subject already.
