Not just any copy protection, some of the most agressive and penalizing copy protection in the history of the industry.

Not that it mattered. Spore was online weeks before it went on the shelves, unlocked.

And our 1 star protests as the link below mentioned succeeded in backing EA down for their upcoming release of Sims 3.

"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
