I would be fine with all of this if they automatically killed activation after 3-6 months for a DVD-check only, and removed that after a year. Since the entire basis seems to be built upon squashing pirates for the first few weeks of release, this seems like a reasonable compromise.

My main point in all of this is - I'm playing old games by dead companies on new computers … will I be able to do that with *your* game when your company is dead? If not, you are not living up to your side of the EULA and need to take action to protect *me*.
