BioWare technical producer Derek French has said that the PC versions of both Mass Effect and Spore will make use of copy protection that will require online validation every ten days to continue working.
"After the first activation, SecuROM requires that [Mass Effect PC] re-check with the server within ten days (in case the CD Key has become public/warez'd and gets banned)," said French in a post on the BioWare forums.
If customers do not come online after ten days, the game will cease to function. "After 10 days a re-check is required before the game can run," added French.
i understand the whole piracy thing but i think this is taking it to far. Stuff like that is going to turn people off from buying those on PC.
