Jeff Green said that Command and Conquer is unplayable


EA.com's
editor-in-chief and blogger Jeff Green has written in his blog that he has been burnt by Command & Conquer 4's DRM.

EA created a storm when it required users to be online at all times to play. Green wrote on his Twitter account that he has had to boot twice and lost his progress because his DSL connection dropped.

He said that the DRM was a fail and EA needed new solutions. Green wrote that he tried to be open-minded. But his net connection is finicky and the constant disruption of my C&C4 SP game makes this unplayable.

He said that the story is fun, the gameplay is interesting and different but if you suffer from shaky/unreliable DSL you have been warned. Green said that periodic online checks or checks on loading and quitting would be an improvement, or going farther, caching progress for upload at a later time.
