“I won’t buy Spore with DRM stuff. But hey, i’m downloading and playing it for free.”

People can be “great” sometimes.

sadly, this will only result in even tighter DRM restrictions and mean even less development for the PC as a platform.

People should really be sending the message that Spore isn’t actually a very good game rather than DRM is evil.

It’s the most disappointing title I’ve played since Black & White, it’s a collection of poor minigames to start with, a space game that’s neither hard core enough for most gamers or simple enough for the average The Sims player and some nice creator tools and er, that’s it.

I wonder how much they wasted on the DRM?

That 3 instals thing is working out nicely for them then.

It’s about time the industry did something about piracy, rather than copy the music industry and keep moaning about it.

However, as itunes proved, the music industry were talking out of their rear end. Yes there will always be some who pirate but the majority won’t.

PC games isn’t the only format you can download. XBOX and PS3 titles are also there.

Shame Spore IS a waste of time. Total let down

You get what you deserve. If they are going to put so many stupid security measures on they are just calling for the game to be pirated.
