Well, It's not surprising. Such draconian DRM measures SUCK.

I thought everyone was going crazy over this game? I swear, Slashdot spammed this crap out of this.

Some people are calling it another Black & White. Unrealized promises and excessive hype BS as usual. I was never really interested in it anyway though.

Right now the game has 45 1-star reviews, 1 4-star review and 1 5-star review. Ouch.

Right now the 1-star count is at 1,145.

The funny thing is, spore was cracked a few days before release and is readily available on many torrent sites. This DRM has done nothing but hurt legitimate customers.

I was going to buy this but even disregarding the hoohaa about the DRM... all the online reviews seem to think the game is just not that good. I think I'll save my money for something that I will get more enjoyment out of (like beer or pizza).

1,912 1-star ratings now.

2,216.

I'm suprised they haven't deleted them yet. If it was Apple it would be a full 5 stars and no bad comments.

I and many others here have got some serious questions about the forums, the lack of professionalism, and the need for information that is not being communicated to the users.

Are we not allowed to discuss SecuROM or DRM at all in the forums anymore?

What is the situation with the silent locking and deletion of topics going on? Shouldn't there be a standard?

Is there somewhere in particular this topic should be discussed?

Can we get moderating team leads that communicate with their users?

SecuROM as been discussed and discussed so much and it causes arguments in threads. If you want to talk about DRM SecuROM then please use another fansite forum. If there is any change you will be able to read it on the official Spore site.

Please do not continue to post theses thread or you account may be at risk of banning which in some cases would mean you would need to buy a new copy to play Spore.

So not only do you have to pay for the game, you also have to behave if you want to play.

Yes. God forbid people should have to behave. I can understand someone being upset, but flaming and showing your ass on a forum is not how you deal with it. Return the game, get a refund, and if you feel so inclined, write a letter, a hand written letter, (not a poorly typed email), expressing your displeasure.
