“Spore’s less-than-spectacular gameplay as a factor too; but clearly the negative reviews are being driven by the DRM issue.”

Well I hope the DRM issue wont be used as a way to hide the poor gameplay. Because if there weren’t any DRM, I wouldnt recommend this game to my friends, after having bought and played it. It’s boring. It’s too simple. Evolution means nothing in the game. It’s very far from the great thing it could have been.

Edinburg says: Someone should develop a site that allows people to say they would buy X game if X DRM feature was removed in X…

There is such a site and it’s called Amazon.com
Write there and ppl will notice. The effect your review has on Amazon.com it would never have on any other site… So just get ative and don’t wait for others to change the Game world for you.

You can got to mass effect of any other DRM riddled game as well…

have a nice day…

Uhm, what’s not to like about it? It allows you to create your own empire from scratch, and torture, destroy, and completely eliminate any creature or animal.

Wouldn’t it be nice if game publishers could get a real impression of just how much money they could make if they removed stupid DRM? Someone should develop a site that allows people to say they would buy X game if X DRM feature was removed in X time limit. Make the site ask for a paypal account and design it so that if the DRM is removed that person must buy the game. Then make the number of people who have signed up and their criteria to buy the game available to the publishers. This idea is probably pretty unfeasible, but it might be useful if something like this really existed.

if it wasnt for the DRM or the slightly controversial nature of the game no one would even be talking about it, its like those obscure racing, lego, and Barby games, no one gives a shit about this game anyway

The DRM in CoD 4 didn’t stop it from becoming a GOTY? I had to contact their support because apparently it thought AVG was pirating software, which had two accounts banned.

and that why i am not buying this game
it sad i had so much fun with the creature creater demo. if pc gaming is dieing which it is not it would because of mostly Ea DRM bull and a combation of pirating.

if i do buy it im gonna crack it which means no online but they get my money and i can play as many times as i want except i cant use all the features for a game i brought wtf.

Thanks

The game play in spore is lackluster, only if you have a lack luster creativity, this game isn’t for hardcore gamers, but it’s for the people that love to create, those people that played societies not for the game play but for the content.

I don’t find the gameplay lackluster at all, I love to create everything.

However, the DRM, well, damn, I mean, just damn… that’s all I have to say about that.
