Video Games: EA backs down on Spore, Mass Effect copy protection.

EA has announced that Spore and Mass Effect will not, in fact, require authentication every ten days. Kotaku has the respective announcements here and here.

BioWare has always listened very closely to its fans and we made this decision to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience to them. To all the fans including our many friends in the armed services and internationally who expressed concerns that they would not be able re-authenticate as often as required, EA and BioWare want you to know that your feedback is important to us.

Thanks, troops!

The games will still reauthenticate whenever you make use of the online services, for instance Spore’s much-vaunted creation swapping function. Still, this seems to me like a much more manageable solution.
