The Sims 3 to Feature Simple DRM
Simplifying things down for its potentially casual userbase, The Sims label head Rod Humble announced on the official Sims website that The Sims 3 will feature very simple copy protection with no online activation. Here’s the scoop:
The game will have disc-based copy protection – there is a Serial Code just like The Sims 2. To play the game there will not be any online authentication needed.
We feel like this is a good, time-proven solution that makes it easy for you to play the game without DRM methods that feel overly invasive or leave you concerned about authorization server access in the distant future.
EA has been criticized before for using – what people call – “draconian” DRM in their games. Spore is an example – it used online activation initially that allowed owners to install the game three times before having to contact EA.
