Okay first off let me say before I talk about spore that I'm a huge fan of CIVIV and have had it for years and play it off and on and it's never boring.
For those that are let down with spore you have no one to blame but ourselves for hyping it up so much, the game is very fun, in my opinion. I've reached the space age and I love exploring and nuking planets, and if I get tired of it and need a breather, I can start the game over with a new species (Haven't had to yet) or simply go into the editors and make me some cool spaceships (I've made about 10 so far and I'm not running out of idea's)
Okay another thing... About you complainers about secrurom, if you even cared to look into the issue, you'll noticed two things.
#1. The 3 install limits do NOT apply to the same machine, you can uninstall and reinstall on your computer until the cows come home.
#2. IF you install on 3 computers and run out of installs, Understandable if you upgrade your computer, or have a big family but still unlikely. You can simply call EA up and ASK for more installs. It takes all that of 5 minutes to varify your information and they'll give you 2-3 more installs.
::Sigh::
Don't blast something you don't know anything about.
Also Spore is shallow in some aspects but it's better the more creative you are, and I prefer to explore and create, that is why I bought the game, not for end all gameplay that the hype created.
Sorry if I offended anyone by this but I just get a bit ticked for all the spore bashers.
