    I dunno, my computer probably wouldn't handle this game so great, not too sure if I'm gonna get it yet.

    edit: Rofl, just look at the most seeded copy of Spore at thepiratebay, you can see what they have to say about the copy protection.

    That issue has been averted ever since they decided to take those security measures.

    I figured as much. I don't see how they thought this protection method would stop anyone. All it's going to do is annoy people that actually buy the game.

    No, they still are.

    Oh yeah, enjoy this little bit too; (from the Wikipedia article on Spore)

    A disadvantage of this DRM software is that it does not allow one user to login to his/her Spore profile on another user's copy of the game, and that it has a limit of three installations. The installation limit is triggered each time a user changes certain pieces of hardware, reformats the computer, or installs/upgrades a new operating system. Furthermore, when a user uninstalls Spore, the installation count is not reset.

    Oh no, the protection is still there in retail, but we were talking about it being cracked...or emulated I should say.

    Edit: I was too late

    I think some countries got it earlier than others.

    I'm... obtaining, this copy of it, to see how it works without the protection software. Whether it's just emulated or taken out completely.

    No sir, you cannot.
    Copy-protection attempts FTL. Honestly, it doesn't bother the pirates, it just screws over the people that bought the game. Which is going to be few, with the way copy protection is going these days.

    This crap's almost as bad as StarForce. >_>

    From the way this is looking, move over StarForce. I think we just got this years winner for worst copy protection ever lol.

    You should get together with a bunch of people that bought the game right, and then riot EA until they recall.

    Edit: also technically it's not cracked yet, just emulated.

    no, if you buy a new cd you have 3 new installations for that cd-key you just got, it's all about the key which allows you to register a new account for spore, every key it's 3 installs and that's it, once that's over you either buy a key in ebay or buy a new cd altogether
