this type of DRM is a showstopper for me - physically and philosophically.the only people inconvenienced by this harsh DRM is paying customers - the people it is meant to stop just go around it quite easily. so EA and Spore creator Will Wright consider all potential Spore consumers thieves until proven innocent.I *might* consider buying the game (I do like Will Wright despite this horrible decision and maybe even EA forced him) but if I do, I will use the crack to circumvent securom - making me a thief even though I paid for it fair and square! please someone explain to me how this makes any sense at all?
