***** you! - inactive, on 09/24/2008, -12/+492EA says "We're gonna rape you, and if you look at us while we're doing it, we'll cut your throat too."
- apothekari, on 09/24/2008, -6/+413I waited for 3 years for this game.
I am a RABID fan of all the Will Wright games.
And I WILL NOT buy this game as it exists now,I also have no plans to Dload it as it will be gimped from the very cool online features.
I also have decided that EA can keep their games, I don't want anything put out by them not on PC or Consoles.
In the same week that The Witcher puts out a FREE to anyone that owns a registered copy of Said Same- upgrade from hell pack,EA cuts their own greedy throat.
***** EA. - Shogi, on 09/25/2008, -15/+287I say we ***** raid their forums and spam them.
- spvn, on 09/25/2008, -6/+180***** EA.
- NaziHatinChimp, on 09/24/2008, -10/+140They can go ahead and cancel mine. That game sucks. I didn't even make it past the tribe stage before extreme boredom sat in.
- MrCobaltBlue, on 09/25/2008, -1/+116Alert the Internets!
- Hoogs, on 09/25/2008, -11/+113We should get 4chan on this.
- blackmesa, on 09/25/2008, -4/+104I'm up for another internet war.
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -4/+94No.. you don't understand. They really said that to me when I bought Spore.
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -1/+80This story is a bit outdated at this point. Here's a newer one: http://digg.com/pc_games/EA_Responds_To_Spore_Foru ...
and here is a link to a story about the class action suit being brought against EA:

- RevJonathan, on 09/25/2008, -2/+59I second that. This is just so far over the line. It boggles my mindhole that they are so stupid.
***** YOU EA!
Edit: erm....never mind, after seeing this- http://kotaku.com/5054372/ea-responds-to-spore-for ...
I still hate EA though - Navicerts, on 09/25/2008, -6/+62I hate EA as much as the next guy but this is clearly a case of a forum moderator getting a big head - not an official EA stance.
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -6/+56Torrent is your friend, and a way to bypass all of this trouble. And I actually hate downloading a game that I wanted to pay for and own myself, but I hate that DRM bull even more, so what am I to do here?
- JMilton, on 09/25/2008, -2/+49EA is the first game company that is begging to be pirated. This will turn many of EA's customers to RELOADED in a heartbeat.
- leerayIG88, on 09/25/2008, -1/+45yeah...lets rub spam all over their stomachs and butt
- dOOBiEx213, on 09/25/2008, -1/+40You got that far?
- mickstephenson, on 09/25/2008, -3/+39People like you are how Nazi Germany started.

I did actually go to Best Buy and pick it up, but I ended up returning it (I never opened the package) as a result of the almost instantaneous day one complaints regarding the DRM "trojan." I don't really feel like downloading 3GB, unpacking and all that junk, so my review simply reads "playing TF2, no time for Spore *****" - Coy0te, on 09/25/2008, -2/+35All this for a ***** terrible game. ***** EA
- rheaume, on 09/25/2008, -2/+32This is just *****
- ButchersBoy, on 09/25/2008, -7/+37OK, I haven't read the article (hell yeah; Digg baby!), but surely this would actually be illegal??
- JMilton, on 09/25/2008, -0/+28"Please do not continue to post these threads or you account may be at risk of banning, which in some cases would mean you would need to download a cracked copy to play Spore."
There, I fixed it for EA. They might even thank me. - inactive, on 09/25/2008, -0/+27I feel exactly the same way oddly... I dont want to illegally download it and I dont wanna buy it cause of the stupid DRM so I just dont get to play it I guess... Thanks EA!
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -1/+28Yar deedly har, didly yar har.
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4375656/Spore-RELO ... - boshuda, on 09/25/2008, -1/+28Wanted to sign this in support.
My wife was looking forward to this game, as was I.
I'm not going to be part of any Mussolini-esque gaming structure, so we're boycotting it.
That being said, for those that want it;;

If you dont stand up to things like this, they will continue to rear end you.
I dont even miss the game in my life. To many to choose from. - inactive, on 09/25/2008, -3/+28If they can't do something without being a cut-thought...then I'll give these people the best gaming experience I can since you're too up your own ass to do it EA.

Suck on that one EA. You're welcome to the new 4 members of Demonoid, and remember be kind and seed! And get yourself a copy of Spore, oh and obligatory, ***** DRM and ***** you EA. - NoozeHound, on 09/25/2008, -4/+29Why you spoil our party with voice of reason and consideration?
Now what do I do with these torches.
Huuruumph. - GliliumHkY, on 09/25/2008, -0/+24I do play. But I got them from BT.
- Andreeew, on 09/25/2008, -0/+24Onward! Tally ho!
- ooby, on 09/25/2008, -0/+22It isn't illegal. And don't call me Shirley.
- drbadass, on 09/25/2008, -0/+22that was a really gross thing to say but it made me laugh
- scarwars, on 09/25/2008, -0/+22FTA:
When Spore owners were silenced by forum moderation staff for posting one too many SecuROM/DRM complaints on the game's official message boards, the internet-going masses were worked up into a lather. "Censorship!" they cried. "Business practices to which I don't agree with!" they shouted. A vague warning about your Spore user account being banned in conjunction with your forum account likely didn't help matters, giving the impression that loose talk about copy protection could render your game useless.
More responsible forum moderators tried to clear the air yesterday and EA itself let us know that the warning was completely out of line and, more importantly, totally inaccurate.
"These comments are absolutely not true or in-line with EA’s moderation policy," an EA spokesperson told Kotaku. "They were made by an over-zealous community volunteer who does not work for EA."
"Anyone who looks at the boards will clearly see that DRM and other issues are freely discussed on the Spore forums, alongside other topics about the game," a statement read. So have at it, kids. The finer points of anti-piracy schemes are up for discussion!
Just be careful what you name your Spore creations. - Ragecloak, on 09/25/2008, -0/+21It's interesting that the best way to get rid of anti-piracy malware is to pirate the game itself
- xbxoxy1, on 09/25/2008, -1/+21***** EA, just ***** 'em, I hope Spore goes down in flames
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -2/+20The thought of an invasion from /b/ makes me giddy.
- RoboB0b, on 09/25/2008, -0/+18"so I just dont get to play it I guess"
Don't worry, you aren't missing out on anything. Well not anything fun at least. - precog29, on 09/25/2008, -0/+18still DRM is a hostile protection that the majority hate and do not support.
- inactive, on 09/25/2008, -0/+17You can't get to online features without DRM.
The servers need to to recognize DRM for you to access them. The online features are pretty lame though. All you do is share your creatures. It's not an online game. - banthis, on 09/25/2008, -0/+17Is it me or admin's are like young and stupid on EA?
- RevJonathan, on 09/25/2008, -0/+17You're absolutely right, except about the fun game part.
Oh and the buying anything from the killers of the NFL 2k franchise.
And the doing yourself an injustice part, because this game is really cool and complex in every aspect other than gameplay. - inactive, on 09/25/2008, -0/+17Play Civ IV on very large map and epic speed. It's a much better experience.. plus you get Spock. Does Spore have Spock? NO.
- beerbarron, on 09/25/2008, -2/+18Oh well... the game changed from the original focus anyway... so no great shakes there. I have played 3/4 way through the space stage, and its just not fun :-sCollect spice, buy upgrade, fly around kill animal, terra form planet and repeat.
- supaklaw, on 09/25/2008, -0/+16Should have been called "S'Bore"
- opticwind, on 09/25/2008, -6/+22NO, shut the HELL up if you haven't read the article. They were threating to ban people who were talking about ways to get by the DRM, or people posting in the wrong threads to complain about DRM. We all hate it, but do NOT spin this to "EA doesn't allow talk of the DRM". In fact, in the second paragraph of the article, EA says you can talk about the DRM without threat of consequence now. Not...a...story.
- Gromit, on 09/25/2008, -0/+16I agree. Don't skip this game because of the DRM, skip it because it's just not a good game. I just got to the tribal stage and the first two stages were sooooo damn boring. I keep thinking it's going to get better, but there's just nothing to this game.
- maasox74, on 09/25/2008, -1/+16In other news: customers threaten to kindly ask EA to go ***** themselves.
