"continuously monitor"...LOL.

If such pretend problems really concern you, just disconnect or set the game to offline mode. You only need to activate once and never again. Use a throwaway email to really confuse them

FWIW, your ISP, Google, Microsoft, and (dozens of companies you've never even heard of) are continuously monitoring far more than whatever you pretend EA fetches for the 1/4 second it phones home when you boot up the game.

P.S....you don't mind the Steam DRM continuously monitoring you, but EA DRM...within Steam DRM ...is the line in the sand we do not cross?

So much great story for $5, mass effect 2 is one of the best games ever made in my opinion. 1 is an excellent store with somewhat dated mechanics.

Again...you are okay with Steam but not EA? It is functionally the same thing with a different name on the building. And hate to break it to you but SlickDeals (comment section especially) is a form of social media you are "connected to" and they are "continuously monitoring" everything you do here, as well as planting cookies on your browser so they can "continuously monitor" everything you do on other pages.

FWIW, the only way you aren't going to be cut off from all of that is if you only use disposable emails to buy DRM free games from the likes of GOG. Of course using disposable emails to create accounts for GOG, and your PC, and your OS, and the burner phone you used to access all of that. Wait until you find out about GPS or cell tower triangulation....

It is amazing how you can be so gung-ho about something like online privacy when you are posting from a 11 year old account. If your account was created yesterday, you might be living the anonymous hacker lifestyle but clearly you ain't.

P.S. Are you really suggesting I have FOMO because I might buy a nearly 20 year old game? LOL...rushed into the store for that one, didn't I?

Again, create a junk email address with a fake name if you are really so scared of Electronic Arts...but not oddly not Valve...or SD...or Microsoft...or Google...or or or or. But EA has to be stopped.

Might as well complain a lake is wet then jump into the ocean

So since one does it we should just let them all do it? Many of us don't want to be connected to anything, nor do we have social media. It's kind of a sad state of affairs that we have ANYTHING, that requires full internet access 24/7, especially for entertainment purposes. I love games and movies and all that, but these companies trade personal info and all your private info for an illusion of joy. FOMO is a hell of a drug.

You signed that much away when you registered for a "free" SlickDeals account.

And how do you think you were going to activate the game without:

Incorporating Steam DRM: Valve on-line activation and Steam client software installation and background use required.
Requires 3rd-Party Account: Steam
Requires agreement to a 3rd-party EULA Steam (and a bunch of others)
Steam EULA
EA Play subscription requires acceptance of EA Play Terms" - LOL, you signing up for "subscriptions" now?

Never said I was ok with steam harvesting or anyone else. Never said I live the "hacker lifestyle"
Sure, I have an 11 year old account on slickdeals, but I also used to have accounts at most every other service. I'm sure if you looked i probably made silly remarks in the past, too, but I like to think that I've been paying attention and improving as I learn. Know better, do better. Or bury your head in the sand and make fun of people who give a shit about their lives. You do you.

Amazing price for awesome games but EA's ownership change recently does put a big sour mark on giving them a dime. That's the whole "voting with wallet" thing we're allowed to do.
As far as the DRM issue goes it does come down to being tracked constantly in general but also my problem with this one's DRM (bought it last sale on Steam when it was 6 bucks - pre-EA Kushner) is just so slow to load. It runs amazing on the Steam Deck and there are ways to get an offline mode (convoluted Wine trickery launching the EA launcher separately in the same prefix) but even offline it takes several minutes to get to the game choice menu and then to the game itself. So I'm more "anti bloat" on the DRM/Launcher than I am anti-DRM.
Hell, Slickdeals is going to use my clicking the link and commenting to push video game things to my feed now so I can't really complain about "tracking"
Anyway sucks about EA being owned by who owns them now because this is an amazing steal for 3 great games

So you show up to a Steam thread upset EA is involved yet only complain about EA? Walks like a duck....

Thanks for proving my point. You are upset about an EA account but not a Steam account....or a SlickDeals account...or "most every other service." But EA (only) = bad. LOL.

You are giving bad objectively flawed advice (don't swim in the lake because it is wet...but swim in the ocean because it isn't) and your excuse is...'I'm learning?' Sounds like you need to let your wisdom mature for another decade or two before dishing out any more. FWIW, I don't speak French, so I don't go around correcting people's French grammar nor "make fun of people" who use EA logon's, er seek French.
Again, if you are worried about EA, use a disposable email address for game activation, and go offline when you are playing said game. Pretend problem solved. Now, 800 other services are still tracking you but at least you don't have to worry about Electronic Arts Wink

P.S. I second "Your cognitive dissonance is astounding."

yep. very very well. did ME1 and mostly through ME2 now without any problems. like i said, the only annoying thing is the launcher takes a while to get to the actual game cuz of splash screens and stuff. but powering off/resuming works flawlessly on the deck
