Don't take it poorly it's not like it's some thing new to EA fans. I don't really think EA is trying to annoy and drive anyone away from the game. It seems we are at that point in video games like the record company a year or so ago. (EMI dropped drm in all cds about a year ago or so.)
The story comes via Kotaku, it's in reference to a forum post on EA where the unfortunate news dropped. But after reviewing it, this might be a large step in at least the right direction. Granted I think we all would like EA developers join in rational thought like what Sins of the Solar Empire developers did. Until that day I am happy for whatever baby steps they can take; and hope they continue down this path.
For a link to the forum it can be found here. Just to give you a quick over view it does have a authentication phase, but it's only one time when you first pop in the game to install. Second one you put it on to five machines. They also said they would provide you with more keys on a case by case basis. So far it's not perfect but better than it could be. Plus you won't have the pop in the CD every time you want to play the game. They also stated that you can play offline without impediment or any penalty. So like I said it's not perfect though I do believe it is momentum in the right direction.
