I bought the Game (Support for the Devs / Key) and I Pirated as well (Admittedly :cry: ) But My reason is because I Format my Pc about One maybe two times a month Because I have this thing about Hidden Build ups on my Computer because I'm not the only one that uses it.

So them Three installs Just don't work for me, I want to play a game I bought right? But I in no way Try to Support Piracy or Try to Pirate myself but with stuff like this Not much I can do and I'm not gonna call EA just to tell them Why I need or what I do just for another key.

i totally understand why you pirated the game, BUT i still find this distasteful. if you're going to get the pirated version, then i think you should at least purchase the game as well. what you did is still stealing, no matter what your reasons for stealing may be. the better solution is simply not to buy the game.

p.s. sorry, dude, i didn't see the first part. :P you bought the game, so i have no problems with what you did, personally. :)

I think a lot are confused by the 3 installs. You can install the game any amount of times on up to three PCs. Of course if you format your drive it will count as a new PC.

some may be, but even so it's totally ridiculous. i have a desktop and a laptop. so that would be two installs already. i'm about to upgrade my pc; it just so happens that this product came out around the time i needed to upgrade my pc. i'm getting a new cpu and motherboard, which will most likely trigger another install. that's three installs used up. if i happen to want or need to reformat my hard drive, i'm screwed. the 3 install limit is simply ridiculous and one of the main reasons i'm not getting this product.

of course, i'll probably still get mirror's edge (like i did mass effect), even if it has the same copy-protection, especially if it gets stellar reviews, because that game sounds too cool not to get it. hopefully, ea will have learned not to be such jerks and stop doing this, but i somehow doubt it. :(

[QUOTE="YoZbaNaToR"]It was you who kept telling me to "chill" after I kindly asked you not to do that. Hey, you'd be surprised if you found out how big of a sense of humor I have, but your posts did seem like you were challenging me. And I'm not one to walk away from a challenge.YoZbaNaToR

i don't take kindly to rudeness. and i consider rolling your eyes at someone rude. so i told you to chill, because i was merely joking. and then you wrote, 'I'll "chill" whenever I want to. I don't need anyone to tell me when to do it thank you very much.' which sounds to me like you're being confrontational (especially when you quote the word, 'chill'), even though telling someone to ease off (or "chill") the rude behavior is perfectly reasonable.

either way, i don't know why you're all worked up about any of this. so you don't like people telling you that you need to chill, eh? or you really hate that word and anyone who uses it. either way, ...

*refrains from saying, 'just chill'*

have a pleasant day! :)

Then I thank you for finally putting an end to this petty quarrel. And appologise for my rudeness if you thought it so. Have a pleasant day aswell.

indeed, no hard feelings. i just hope we don't get moderated for this. :P
