My husband and I have been excitedly anticipating the release of Spore for years, watching early game demos and reading any news about the game that we could get our hands on. We were initially thrilled to learn that Spore would finally be released this September 08. But after learning about the awful DRM that comes with the game, in particular the 3 install limit, we have decided NOT to purchase Spore. We don't want to "rent" Spore! We expect any game that we purchase to be a game that we will hopefully be playing for years, maybe even decades. A limit of three installations makes that impossible. And we encourage other gamers to refuse to buy Spore until EA realizes that having such restrictive DRM only affects their potential customers, while doing nothing to combat game piracy.
