SPORE!

A different take on the game. From /. :

Review: Spore - <a href="http://games.slashdot.org/games/08/09/09/1516246.shtml" target="_blank]http://games.slashdot.org/games/08/09/09/1516246.shtml</a>

I know that stuff. that was one of the reasons I wanted to buy it. Spore looks FUN!
I know theres been hype about it, but i was REALLY looking forward to playing this game. it wouldve kept me entertained for years, with me sucking every last bit of enjoyment out of it.

But after 3 installations (OS install, hardware change, or plain reinstall) it stops working? No thanks.
3 installs would get used up for me in about 3 months. That would be faster for some other people.
I dont want to have to wait until EA say "yes" to play on a game that stopped working 2 weeks ago, that I bought with my hard earned money.

I'd rather stuff a porcupine and skunk up my nose, than be subjected to Game Police Big Brother Corporation that tells me I can't reinstall my OS to make my computer work faster, or that I can't install a new graphics card, or two. Or test my friends HD to see if its working. Or install a new DVD drive.

I am not a pirate and will not be treated like one. I've bought over $3,000 in games, a large part of that EA games. I bought almost the entire C&C games, individually. Sim cities, Maxis games, some EA sports..

And yet I am being treated like a criminal, and the DRM "copy protection" hasnt stopped pirates from doing what they do. DRM only hurts honest people. It does not stop piracy. In fact it actually encourages it. This is the first time I have considered going to piracy, but after some struggle, like i said on skype, i just wont buy it. Nor will I buy it and download a "patch" to remove the DRM. If I buy it EA will think that DRM is a good idea.
No, I will stick to my principles and play other games.

As you can tell, im extremely pissed off.

Seek fun and you shall find it. Seek stuff to Q_Q about and you'll find that, too. I choose to have fun.
