From what I hear the full game will come with the same restrictions.
If I'm forking out $50-$60 for a game I want to be able to play the damn thing, not be forced to buy another copy each time I change the hardware on my machine!

I'm sure someone will come up with a workaround to that like they did with Bioshock (I've been holding off reinstalling that as I'm afraid I'll get the same message)

From the discussion I've seen about it on other boards it seems that EA's limited install policy is driving people away from purchasing the game and leading them to obtain it by other means...so much for EA adopting that policy to reduce piracy.
Well in that case after you bought the game and it gives you that message I think it is alright to pirate the game after you have already purchased it.


I have been waiting and waiting and now it is almost here! Seen pretty much every video on this game and have read almost every interview.

The game starts off with an asteroid crashing into your planet and you start off as a single cell organism(well actually it is a multi cell but that is being technical). The game ends with you trying to find where that asteroid came from. Which I am guessing is the center of the galaxy. You however have to option to not follow that and just continue what ever you want to do. So you can still spend your entire life on one creature if you wanted to.
