Politics are getting boring. So lets talk about Spore.
Pretty much, Spore is just a game by Maxis where you create your own species, and all sorts of stuff like that, and it's been going through an ass load of advertising, like being on the front page of Youtube for example. More can be found at spore.com
So, to the point, what are your opinions on this?
Great (already played), going to be great, looks shitty...
Personally, I think it looks like fun. It gives players a chance to be creative, and after I tried out the Creature Creator, I saw that the controls were very easy, also my 7 year old computer supports it.

I like the look of it....their advertising campaign has worked on me and i can see me getting it when i get the money for it.
This is a signature. Reading this is wasting your time.

Instead of 'protesting' the DRM by illegally downloading the program, maybe just not buy it, OR not download it. When EA realizes lower profits, and lower piracy figures, they will likely feel pressured to drop DRM.

good points but you see most are desperate kids living with mom and dad who give them their lunch money. So they take it upon themselves as having no choice. And then we have the children who have money but don't like to spend. of course, rich kids and then the people who like to have a physical copy of the game in a shiny case/box (me) would buy the game no matter what anti-piracy measures they put on.

Yeah, most of the people who buy C&C Games are little kids totally man.
Not at all. Go to the EA forums and look at those threads that come up once in a while about personal life and shit, and the photo contests. I'd say a good 60% of the people over there are adults. However, that doesn't mean a thing. C&C Games are targeted to all audiences and are meant to be universal in their appeal.
And yeah, normally I'm just a dedicated C&C guy who will buy anything even with C&C in the name, but DRM is seriously making me rethink my decision. It sucks, because I've played the beta and I know exactly how amazing of a game RA3 is.
yeah

OK yes, C&C has a huge fanbase across many generations but why are you not playing the game just because of DRM.
But don't you think you may miss the good things that you will get when a new game comes out? Like lots of players online, and also as having played it when it came out. It wil lbe fun.
I was upset about this too but it's not like you can't install it more than 5 times. You can install and uninstall as many times as you want as long as it is connected to the internet. So EA Nazis will see that you are uninstalling it agaisnt YOUR game's serial in their database. And when you install it again, you get that "uninstall" back.
So you can keep going forever. That's why I changed my mind about this DRM though I was upset when I heard it. It is just to stop the multiple copies and iillegal serials though I don't much about that.
It is veyr hard to fight against software piracy. I remember once one of my old boss at work ordered Windows XP online. and lmfao it came from Russia all pirated...looked like it was made in a special hacker assembly line lols
