You're making the assumption that the game will still run if you make ANY attempt to disable the ad's or spyware.
Bad assumption. In the demo people are turning off the infomercials at the beginning and the game decides it has been hacked and will not play on line. I suspect EA will have the "proper operation" of their advertising tied to the game functioning. At least for online play.
PS I live with ad's in IE and Mozilla and Eudora because they are free. BF 2142 is $50. I've been dying to get my hands on 2142 for 6 months. With the game play problems I've had and the spyware issue I think I will skip buying this one. KMA EA.
And back on thread. If I HAVE to buy VISTA AND new Video hardware to play DX 10 based new games that will be the end of my 8 years of online gaming. These forced upgrades have become obscenely offensive to anyone who works for a living.
You can expect the next round of MS antitrust and class action suits to start coming out next summer. Dump your MS stock before hand.
And really diverging... With ATI and AMD in bed and Nvidia and Intel headed that way we will probably end up with 2 new incompatible gaming consoles disguised as PC's.
