so EA removed drm becuase of the huge amount of pirating. since they finally fixed their mistake is it worth gettin spore, mass effect, or warhammer online?? just lookin for your opinions on this.
for what it's worth, i hope that those games see a decent increase in purchasing. not that i care about them getting sales or anything, but to show that that's actually a good idea. if they see that less people pirate now, it'd be a good message. i know that a tad optimistic, but still, it'd be nice. come to think of it though, it seems to me that pirating warhammer online would be difficult because it's an mmo.

i personally might get spore or warhammer
Spore is terrible. The first four levels are too simple and done better in other games (i.e. Civ IV, WoW, etc...). The last level suffers from terrible UI controls and annoying bot attacks every two minutes. I'm not really into MMOs, but I hear that Warhammer is a good one. FWIW, I enjoyed Mass Effect the most out of the three games you listed.
This isn't as great as it sounds. The retail versions of these games still have DRM, and removing it from the Steam versions seem like a no-brainer since Steam is a form of DRM anyway.
The DRM on Mass Effect really gets me fired up because you can't even get an install credit back after uninstalling the game. That really is nothing but a glorified rental. No wonder people pirated it. I don't see how even the most pro-DRM PC gamer out there can defend that.
But of course, EA doesn't address that issue with this new "change."
