Why online DRM serves no benefits..

EA also has a nasty habit of turning off servers for any game at around the 2-year mark. I think they should put a warning label on all their games that the online portion will not be available after X date. While that doesn't usually affect the single player portion of a game, it could render the reason you bought the game in the first place obsolete, if say, for example, you bought the cute little PSN game Spare Parts to play online co-op with some friends or young family members, and then a few months later no longer could, or bought an annual sports franchise game late in its life cycle for similar reason (some people just prefer earlier versions of certain sports games due to certain changes EA makes to the game from one year to the next). And don't get me started on the affect EA's policy has on trophy/acheivements hunters.
