Are EA Finally getting it?
EA have stated that they will be going back to simple serial code authentication for The Sims 3, most likely after realising that the more invasive techniques they used on Spore had exactly the opposite effect in terms of preventing piracy (can't find the source, but even though Spore was released in september it was the most pirated game of 2008 apparently).
If EA are going to take this step, are other developers finally going to realise that they need to buck up their ideas too?
