wow that must have hit a nerve. the reason people "get their panties in a bunch" it precisely because it DOES affect them. pirating is not the exactly the same as hacking dlc games like this one. when you buy a movie, theres no chance that FOX will take it away from you when they stop making profits from it. do you think the ea servers will run this game forever? the more profitable this game becomes, the longer it will stay active and available. when studios or developers lose money, the consequences are not as immediately visible as they are here. it will usually affect the way they appoach their next movie or game. here it affects whether THIS game will be available in a year or five years. so selfish reasons i know, but contrary to your claim they DO affect other people who have spent money on the game because it affects the outcome of the game.

I understand why you think this, but your logic is flawed in this case. The hacking hasn't made a dent in EA's profits...they're making money hand over fist with this game and the profits grow every day. For what you said to be true, a much larger percentage of players would have to hack, and the percentage is just not there...not even close. I'd bet the majority of players of this game wouldn't even know where to look for a hack, much less how to implement it.

Think of it like this...this forum (and ones like it) is a miniscule fraction of the TSTO community, and the hacking community is a fraction of that!

If this game dies, it will be because it naturally ran its course, people lose interest or EA goes under, not because of a few hackers.
