When I saw a 30 minute trailer for it I was pretty impressed. Jess, from what I know its a game where you create your own civilisation by deciding how your species evolve. You start with a single-celled thing and turn it into a huge civilisation, and chose what adaptions it gets along the way. Might try it out sometime. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: Colin Group: Ex-Member Posts: 2039 Member No.: 68 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 69 | Not to be a downer or anything, but it's something you must now. Why you should not buy Spore: There are many forms of DRM schemes. STARFORCE was very effective in stopping piracy but did so at the expense of damaging people's hardware: it slowed down or even ruined disc drives, blocked programs from running even though had nothing to do with the game itself and induced data loss. Because of that there is an ongoing Class-Action suit filled in the state of California against UBISOFT who had a long-time partnership with STARFORCE (suing STARFORCE would of course make much more sense but try serving them in Russia). From what you will see, a class action against SecuROM cannot be far off... SecuROM has also many versions, ranging from the benign to outright malicious. The latest version (7+) which was used first on BIOSHOCK and now on MASS EFFECT and SPORE buries itself so deep in our systems that revokes our Administrator rights in our own computers (by creating a number of folders one cannot delete even with full administrator rights). In hacker lingo such control is known as "taking your Root" and because of that (not to mention at least two Security programs sounding the alarm!) there was the whole RootKit scandal. But the problems with SecuROM do not stop with irremoveble folders no one knows what they are doing in our computers. SecuROM has always been more about data-mining and reporting back to its occasional mothership than piracy fighting. After all, both BIOSHOCK and MASS EFFECT (and from what I just read in another discussion here, SPORE) had been cracked from day one. That is why uninstalling a game plagued with SecuROM will NOT remove SecuROM - which will then play havoc with your system. Lately, there security concerns have also surfaced as known Trojans seem to be exploiting SecuROM's backdoor access for their own purposes. In effect, installing a SecuROM-infected game in our computer will be placing your hardware and data at risk long after having uninstalled the game. The game publishers that utilize SecuROM (such as EA) realize that they are not actually fighting piracy but use it as a pretext to bundle SecuROM with their product without the informed consent of their customers. A snooping-subroutine would require full disclosure but an antipiracy scheme can enjoy some more leeway. Their near future plans (according to interviews given by their own executives) call for turning our computers into their proprietary consoles where we will be playing games for which we will be paying by the minute. This nightmarish Pay-per-Play future apparently depends in them first consolidating their technological hold on as many computers as possible. After all, they see us as their cash-cows and they just started herding us in. It is up to each and everyone of us gamers to decide with our wallets what direction gaming should take. --------------------   Proud WG member from January 2006 - Fall 2009 | ||||||

| IRC Nickname: Palidore Group: Emeritus Posts: 152 Member No.: 75 Joined: January 1, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0 | I didn't read your post, but I bet I can shorten it and summarize it for you: SecuRom sucks. Yeah, it's true. But a fairly small fraction of people passing up Spore because of it won't hurt EA. The best way to do it I feel is just to keep being vocal about it on forums and various other websites all across the web like everyone has been. Aside of that though, how many of you actually install/uninstall your games three times anyway? And even if you do, you can call up EA and depending on the circumstances they'll give you a few more installs if necessary. So in the end, Spore is too good of a game in my opinion to pass up. Don't punish the guys at Maxis because of the mistakes that their bigger brothers at EA made. They're really a devoted group of people who worked long and hard to make a great game which they succeeded in doing. -------------------- | ||||||

I just found out that the center of the galaxy is controlled by some guys named the zorg. Careful, they murderus. They'll immediately hail war upon you and they literally control every solar system in the bright area in the middle of the galaxy, they probably own over 1000 solar systems. It's insane. -------------------- Proud WG member since December 2003 | ||||||

Matter of fact, you find out about both really early in the Space stage, so not a huge spoiler doorthinks. -------------------- | ||||||
