The limited activations are so that down the road you will have to re-buy the game, it has nothing to do with piracy as the pirates simply don't have to deal with it. I for one really wanted to buy and play this game but I don't want to install securom on my computer.

I don't want to pay full price for a game that I can only have 5 times, especially as my computer is getting old. I feel like buying the game and leaving it on the shelf, free to download a backup so I don't have DRM issues. EA are lucky I want to pay for this game.
