Electronic Arts has released a DRM Management Tool for its PC games released after May of last year. The tool will allow users to deauthorize game installs so the title can be reinstalled after a change of computer or hardware.

Previously, EA had released individual tools for specific games, but this tool will cover all applicable EA titles.

Does anyone else find it ridiculous that EA had to program and release an application to manage their DRM? Now, I have to run two services to mange my game installs? Digital Rights Management Management...?

This is why I prefer Steam for PC games and DRM. All I have to do is login provided the game doesn't include additional DRM tools.
