The Sims 3 won't be raped by DRM

Always nice to hear some news from DRM land and even better when it's some good news.

The Sims label head Rod Humble made a post on the official Sims 3 page about the copy protection that will be used in The Sims 3. It seems they are dropping the whole online authentication thing that many potential buyers feared to see in their beloved franchise.

I'm quite glad even big companies like Electronic Arts still have the capacity to judge their own errors and are not deaf to community criticism. Because honestly I had given up on them after the major soap that Spore had become.
The game will have disc-based copy protection – there is a Serial Code just like The Sims 2. To play the game there will not be any online authentication needed.

We feel like this is a good, time-proven solution that makes it easy for you to play the game without DRM methods that feel overly invasive or leave you concerned about authorization server access in the distant future.
But still I think this was decided on a business level because the Sims IP has always been a big seller and added DRM might decrease those numbers.
