9:06 PM - Bad luck with gaming
Like most gamers, i've found the PSN outage to be irritating. Today, I've run into another problem. I bought a copy of Crysis via Steam and the cd key doesn't work. Looking at a forum post, I found that many people are having this problem. In fact, there are 17 pages of people bitching about this problem. EA admitted to some it was an issue with their activation servers. I've contacted steam/value about it.
They're running an EA weekend deal where many EA games are on sale. I've been avoiding EA games for some time due to the activation issues with newer SIMS games and several other titles. I finally broke down and bought Crysis because I've been told it's awesome and it was only $10 for the game. Now I don't get to play the game. It may clear up in a few days, but it ruins my plans for tonight. Bummer.
Lesson learned: don't expect to play EA games after you buy them.
Guess who's fault it might be... sony! http://www2.securom.com/ They make the DRM.
