Buyer beware if you were interested in playing SPORE. That's all I'm going to say. I knew the DRM would be bad, but you never know exactly how bad until all the information starts showing up on the Consumerist type sites. Muhahaha. Check out the game rating on Amazon, and read the first 1 star review for the best summary of a game I've seen in a

Huh? Spore comes with the garbage regardless. It will never make its way onto my gaming rig. It's the activation stuff that gets me. They're right when they say that in a few years the company will abandon the activation servers, leaving people who bought the game SOL. That'd be like you not being able to reinstall Civ or me and FF7 everytime I build/rebuild a new system.

Saddest part is these companies just don't get it... There are 1831 negative 1-star reviews on Amazon, and if you treat them as potential purchasers at $50/pop, that's $91,550 in lost (albeit potential) revenue.
