This ought to be interesting, BioWare’s technical producer Derek French says that Spore and Mass Effect for the PC will require online validation every 10 days before the game can run.

"After the first activation, SecuROM requires that [Mass Effect PC] re-check with the server within ten days (in case the CD Key has become public/warez'd and gets banned)," said French in a post on the BioWare forums. If customers do not come online after ten days, the game will cease to function. "After 10 days a re-check is required before the game can run," added French.
