Actually, it is worse and nobody is exaggerating anything; I certainly haven't.
I am not going to repeat what I have said before many times in this thread.
CS call after 5th install, beg and plead for 6th install. No thanks!

No it isn't worse. I've been following this thread, and that was before knowing any solid facts about what this DRM was. When I finally read official facts about it, I realized that everyone was over reacting.
It's not that bad.
The only negative thing is that it restricts your product, but that isn't something you can say "OMG I spent $50 on this and I deserve to use it!" Because what you spent $50 on wasn't the game, but 5 hassle free installations of the game.

I'm gonna be honest, the DRM is one of the last things that would prevent me from buying the game. It's the fact that the game has armoured parachuting bears, and transformers that is stopping me from getting it.

Install limits = no purchase. I'm not so keen on getting RA3 that I'd go through the trouble of buying it then hunting down a crack for the DRM, and I don't pirate games as a rule, so I'll pass.

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

Deffinitly the last option lol.
