And people are wondering why torrents and pirate sites are popular

It's just bad that we, paying customers cant feel the same satisfaction as we could if we just downloaded straight from torrent with full patches. I mean what's the whole point of this activation thing? I didn't even had the comfort of the internet when I bought the game. And of course it's not written on the box that you need internet connection for activation to play a SINGLE player game. Even better that you are restricted to limited use of it. Are they serious? What if my OS needs reinstall? Or I upgrade my PC? Oh nothing, just go and buy the game again! Beacuse its so damn addictive, that you want to play, whatever new features it will have. Well, considering the facts that its more work or disadvantage to buy the original game, why would any1 want to buy it if he/she has the option to just simply download it and play? This activation thing wont make them more popular. Mass effect 1 was a good example how to support buying original games, because the new contents which you could only use if you had the original game. Sorry for the off-topic, but I had to write this down, because it's so dissapointing.
