EA Games Sucks

Okay I'm dragging out the soapbox again.  I recently purchased The Sims Medieval anticipating many happy hours of child naptime being used to play with my favorite digital dollhouse.  Imagine my chagrin when the stupid thing wouldn't auto-start or manual start, or start in any form at all.  Our experience (and total inability to ge the thing to work) are summed up very neatly by this blogger.  It turns out EA Games is burning people left and right (in a desperate desire to avoid pirates?).  We will be returning our copy for  a full refund.
