Heliocentric, I received an answer from DeepSilver / Kochmedia: the UK retail version of Clear Sky only has disk check, no online activation needed.

Steam having worst use conditions than retail, what’s next? People walking upside down? Humans biting dogs?

This is good. EA needs to know that there’s a difference in expectations between PC gamers and their usual console audience. I’m glad they’re still looking receptive.

Personally I hate DRM. If you have to tie your key to an online account for multiplayer, that’s fine, but anything beyond that – like restrictions on how many times you can download it – is pretty stupid in my opinion.

Okay, i googled it, how do you contact stalker clear sky to get new activations?

steam lists these guys as the english language support for stalker clear sky.

i sent them the following, will update when i get a reply.

Just a question which will reflect on me buying stalker clear sky.

The steam version mentions a limit of 5 activations, once they are depleted how can i get more (free or paid as appropiate) does the UK retail version have the same restriction?

Does for example uninstalling the game reimburse me with an install? and if due to system failures i lost all 5 activations what should i do.

Thanks, a potential customer.

Its getting better. I’m worried about 5 computers though. Does it count for a new computer if you change hardware.

Anyway, it clearly shows that the complaints have worked, it just have to continue.
I think the momentum is gone for Spore DRm complaints. Further complaints will liekyl be seen as whining, since ‘EA has already given in’, which might become the public opinion on this. We dont want the ‘anti’DRM movement’ to be seen as whiners, because EA would have an easier time justifying not to listen to it then. What worked for Spore was exactly that newspapers etc. picked up the story, and framed it in a negative way toward EA and positive toward the anti-DRM case.

However, next time EA release a game, and likely use this very same DRM (changed to the new 5 computers thingy) people should redo the 1 star reviews, forum complaints etc. all over again. Until the day DRM doesnt hinder our usability of our legally bought software.
