Maybe I'm being cynical, but all I see is them shouting "Look at these free prototypes! They're free you see! No charge! See, the publisher didn't make us totally evil." Then in hushed tones "Forget the DRM. Please forget the DRM. It's not our fault, forget it. Please."

Are these riddled with DRM too? Can't have us enjoying ourselves too many times now can we?

Lets be honest this type of DRM your all furious about just encourages cracking more not less, they will soon see this and stop doing it, if not the millions of phone calls asking them for extensions on the number of installs surely will, unless they make it a premium rate number.

OK i give in there EVIL.

Still a good game.

@GamesProgrammer -

Ideally, they would see that they have hurt their own sales by using this DRM shit. And encouraged more piracy rather than discouraging it...

But the sad truth is that EA will probably point the finger squarely at pirates and use this as an excuse to have even worse DRM in the future.

You'll go blind, if you're not careful.

*sigh*
If only they spent more time on their gameplay mechanics and less on the gavitational behaviour of particles in clouds.

The sorts of people who make up the bulk of EA games sales probably haven't even heard of DRM, much less know what particular disadvantages one particular DRM system confers on one particular game. And even if somebody tells them, they probably don't give a damn. I doubt EA will even notice the missed sales from the few of us who do care about that sort of thing.
