Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been following this game for two years, waiting for its release, checking in to see how much longer I have and even convincing my friends they should also buy it and downloaded the trial creature creator. I'm glad now that I read these reviews, I had no idea such a thing like DRM existed, much less that it would be on this game and now that I know - it takes all of the fun out of buying it. I won't pay 50 to 80 dollars to rent a game and, unfortunately, that is what I would have to do. If my computer crashes, if I switch hardware or install it on my desk and laptop; there are many things that would cause me to quickly lose my ability to reinstall it. The fact that even if I really enjoy this game, love it and play it all the time, I will only be able to realistically for a few years before it will be useless. That's not an investment. Sadly I am also a huge fan of the sims and I worry, will the Sims 3 be like this as well? Will I have to give up a game I have played since middle school (I'm now in college) because I simply can't afford and aren't willing to purchase a 3-time game and its expansions? Thank you reviewers for posting your information and allowing me to know if I'm making a great mistake and Amazon for allowing us to review. Lupus
