Agree. However I'm willing to cut EA some slack here. NFS series (like some other games) has music in it that's been licensed by the devs for a limited time.

Selling the game today would mean either ripping out the music which is what made the game fun, or paying the record labels more money, which will not be offset by the few sales to 30+ year old nostalgics.

But at least EA isn't actively preventing you from playing that old game if you own a licensed copy by requiring always-on DRM.

BTW: today is the last day to sign the Stop killing games EU initiative : https://www.stopkillinggames.com/eci

If that practice gets killed as well, that'd be a bonus.

Well if the market can't provide, Pirate Bay can. Maybe they should fix "the market".
