Who says gamers can't strike back? Angry at the draconian DRM Electronic Arts has included in the new 'Sim-evolution' title, Spore, Amazon.com readers have posted their own reviews, giving the game an average score of only 1 star. One reader review complaining about the 3-install limit says,
In a couple of years they might very well even shut down the general activation servers, because "it's not financially feasible" to keep them running. What you will be left with is a nice, colorful $50 coaster. And you will be required to pay for another copy/license if you want to continue playing.
This basically means that you are actually RENTING the game, instead of owning it. The game WILL stop to function in the future. That's inevitable, because even if EA keeps the activation servers going, there IS going to be a time when EA will simply cease to exist because of financial issues or federal laws (like most business eventually do).
Right now the game has 45 1-star reviews, 1 4-star review and 1 5-star review. Ouch.
