the reviews were to rate the game, not the company's anti-piracy steps.

Responses:

No, the reviews were to inform potiential buyers that the product they were interested in contained something that EA did not disclose on the box. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 16:31 9
- My Star Wars VHS tapes didn't disclose that they had copy protection on them, yet they did...I was more pissed Greedo shot first - The Calico Cat Coalition Apr 12, 16:34 8
  - Not just any copy protection, some of the most agressive and penalizing copy protection in the history of the industry. - Qale Apr 12, 16:35 7
    - "not that it mattered..." as someone that creates intellectual property, I'm amazed you think fighting piracy and copyright infringment is a bad thing -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Apr 12, 16:39 6
      - I'm going to sell you a copy of my book for 13 dollars and if you read it more than 3 times you're going to have to call me and ask my permission to - Qale Apr 12, 16:42 5
        
        I'm going to buy your new book, scan it in and post the pages online...cause I bought it - The Calico Cat Coalition Apr 12, 16:50 4
        
        I think Qale's point was that EA (the makers of Spore) didn't disclose their DRM prior to purchase. - ReluctantCynic Apr 12, 16:56
        
        I've uninstalled/installed Diablo 2 dozens of times. Wouldn't be able to do that with Spore. - Qale Apr 12, 16:54 2
        
        Not to mention the fact that you're just plain wrong about the idea that gamers don't want to pay for their games. Of course they do. They love games! - Qale Apr 12, 16:55 1
