När EA hamnade i hetluften för DRM-skyddet till Spore tog det hus i helvete med pajkastning åt alla håll och kanter. Spelet fick bottenbetyg på Amazon av röstande besökare och spelet toppade nerladdningslistorna för flera piratsiter under en lång period. Dessutom lämnades en stämningsansökan in mot EA för deras användande av SecuROM. Det gäller att inte bråka med fansen och kanske var det Spore de hade i åtanke när SecuROM togs för Battlefield: Bad Company 2 med den senaste patchen?

Om du fungerar på vilka godsaker som döljer sig i patchen förutom borttagandet av SecuROM så får du en lista här under. Nämnvärt är att om du köpt spelet via Valves egna butik så sitter du tyvärr med skyddet ett tag till.
