1C eviler than Ubi? DRM

I don't think the word "evil" applies here. Protecting sales from piracy is not a bad thing.

I only means you can have a maximum of 3 SIMULTANEOUS installations. If you uninstall it, you won't run out of activations.

Wait I might be wrong.

Nothing is protecting sales from piracy. All DRM does is inconvenience paying customers. The pirates usually have an easier time of it.

Happens with gaming as much as it happens with the software in my day-to-day work industry.

Doesn't mean you will be able to network these 3 installations.
Checking for duplicate copies is common in game's LAN interactions.

If you purchase through STEAM then I believe you can delete and reinstall the game many many times.. Please correct me if I am wrong.
