They have done it with DA2, why do you think they would go back to a disccheck now?
why go back? cause the customers are starting to get pissed off. I preordered DA2. I'm still pretty pissed about several things with regard to that game so I'm already ticked at the two companies, then reading that article about what happened with the server problem pissed me off more. Maybe I'm the ONLY person reaching the end of their patience with EA drm and "bonus" giveaway bull ****, but probably not.
i don't think they'll miss my purchase, but everyone has a line, and I feel like EA just kinda sorta creeped across it, and so my angry backlash is demanding a return to disc check only if they want a full price buy.
I'm not delusional, I know I'll end up buying ME3 if its good, but I can make myself wait a few months for a price drop if they continue with this drm dlc online connection crap.
