EA De-Authorisation Tools
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 02:04pm 01/04/09 | 6 Comments
EA have a released a game de-authorisation toolkit as part of their renewed effort to maximise single PC game releases being used on multiple machines.
Certain EA PC games with SecuROM digital rights management technology allow users to concurrently "authorize" up to five computers at the same time to play the games. Users can then play the game on any authorized computer they choose. If your EA PC game was released after May 2008 and has a machine authorization limit, you can now manage your computer authorizations using EA De-Authorization Tools!
For the full rundown and a list of games you can currently use the toolkit on, hit this link. You can also grab the toolkit locally from AusGamers right here.

I wish everyone who had internet authorization had a de-auth process. I wish you could de-auth windows for one.

I wish i could de-Auth these game market companies.. It is so wrong you need to buy more copies to play the game in your own house on other pc's for LAN or single player.. Wow this will backfire so hard when they make consoles do this.. It is getting out of control and before you know it they will sell you a game for 100 bucks and only allow you to have 6 months to use it e.t.c.. Pathetic... Also EA is on the gold coast at australia fair shopping centre (well it was not sure now) be good to see a mass infulx of hate mail as they are the leaders in wasting our money.. with poor quality discs that crack or fade so easy and then 1 million patches per game

never knew the "re-releasing the same game every fucking year and still getting people to buy it" market was so lucrative

I'm wondering now if BF2 would have been better if it was on the Steam engine...


moreso, if it came out as a free TF2 'mod' in time to come.. could I become addicted again..


hmmm
