Well, supposedly its just for those who download cc online.

I don't think its for gaming alone.

But, either way, there has to be another safe and reliable way for EA to check.

Just because someone hasn't played a while doesn't mean they've stolen the game. Besides, not everyone registers right away. Maybe they don't want to use the forum, download cc or receive help. 

Heck, after a certain period of time, most people stop playing for months before they get back into it. Truthfully, I haven't had the pleasure of playing in 4 months and I had no EPs(lost and only NL I lost uni tee hee) before then it was like 6 months!
