If this is true ED have just lost not only my purchase but my respect, and any future purchases.
To bundle a questionable application without the user's express permission is unacceptable. It shows lack of respect and disregard on their part.
Starforce is not a questionable application. Many professionally created games use this system such at GTR, Colin Mcrae Rally 2005, and more. Starforce isn't some amateur toy, the only people who dislike it are the hackers because it forces them to take extra steps if they can even get around it such as pulling out their cd drive to play the pirated game and more.
