EA blinks: Mass Effect PC to remove 10 day Internet registration


Well that didn't take long did it? Following a massive public outcry earlier this week, BioWare and Electronic Arts have caved in and eliminated the need for people who purchase the upcoming PC version of Mass Effect to validate their copy via a Internet connection every 10 day. The official announcement came, as usual, from BioWare's official forums.

The developer's community manager Jay Watamaniuk stated that after listening to the many messages on their forums protesting this move, they decided to change their minds "to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience" for their fans. The game will only ask for an Internet connection if the user chooses to download any patches or additional content such as the free Bring Down The Sky expansion. Hopefully this will be a good compromise for people who were concerned about this type of copy protection.
