Its really sad actually.  Here Maxis spent years making this game, and yes EA implemented this DRM but now Amazon has a 1.5 star rating on the game and may discourage people from buying it.  Who loses here?  Maxis.

Yeah, 'cause EA sees no share of the money, it all goes to Maxis, right? And the reviews aren't entirely on DRM, the game has been a reasonable let down for a lot of people. So I honestly feel a low score is in order. One star? Maybe it's too harsh, but still.

EA may lose some profit but Maxis could lose years of hard work.  Its doubtful that the amazon spam will make a huge dent in Spore's sales but they're attacking the wrong people.  Giving Spore a 1 star?  As your own suggestion goes to an example of an attack on Maxis.  Seriously, its Maxis who loses."

Shooting the movies simultaneously really isn't as bad as it sounds.  The Lord of the Rings trilogy was all shot in one big year-long session down in New Zealand.  Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2 were also shot as one movie and later split into two.  Whether or not the world needs another Spider-Man movie is the real question I guess.

The narrator completely sold me on the game.  Dude is awesome.

I got to play the 3 games for the original Xbox that I always wanted to.  So, I'm happy.

It's likely only going to happen for the smaller first-party releases.  Like Rare games obviously.  Not that I don't like Rare games.  They just probably are not going to move as many copies as a Fable 2 or a Gears of War 2. 

Both.
