FPS-Admin/C&C4 will not have DRM but will require DRM, no it will not have DRM

This seems to be going around the Internets this am.

EA's EA_Apoc posted in the official C&C forums regarding DRM and their next Command and Conquer game:

First thing to be clear about, Command & Conquer 4 has NO DRM. Zip, zero, zilch, none. We already made this clear.

-You can install the game from the disc as many times as you want on any machine. Re-install, etc.

-To play Command & Conquer 4, the computer needs to be connected to the internet. We've always made that clear as well.

-APOC

So there you have it, the game does not have any type of DRM but you need to be connected to EA's servers while you pla.... hey wait a minute! By being connected to their servers while you play, THAT IS a form of DRM. Not to mention EA's current track record with games that connect to servers run by the company (fill in BFBC2's authentications and master server frustration here) I can see no one playing this game for the first two weeks.

Remember my motto, wait for the second patch to purchase the game.
