"Lets stop blaming EA". It is my understanding that Envision staff were directed to change the login procedure by EA, so that you had to login via EA rather than the C&C page And that means you are continuously logged in unless you log out, closing the browser doesn't cut it anymore. My GUESS is that someone hacked the game and had access to our information, and that this HAS NOT been disclosed (yet). Why else such a rush to change the procedure? In any case, EA is responsible (for issuing the directive to Envision) and Envision is responsible (for messing up the implementation and/or carrying out the directive in the first place). As I said before, the consequences for this action (for EA/Envision) will continue long after the actual "login" problem is resolved.
