Spore Slaughterd on Amazon Star Rating

spore has some issues but overall is a good game , like jeff and many others i was expecting an evolutionary experience , which never really happens .... but besides that there are DRM issues and this has led to the amazing Amazon Star Rating for Spore in the USA and the UK ,

1 Star Usa
1 Star 1/2 Uk

madness , and this is an average from about 1000+ reviews for the game

I think there's another topic with this in it.........

Games are often looked down upon by an unwarrented level of hype before they came out and they are scorned through no fault but that of the consumer's. It pisses me off.

From what I've heard it's just people whining about DRM being in there. I guess it's some sort of "protest", meh.

Power to them. Sorry if it hits Maxis (who cares, they're rich beyond rich). They'll make Sims 3; but if Sims 3 and other upcoming projects don't show that EA has learned its lesson... Nobody is going to want anything to do with it.

I say that too.  If you search "Spore DRM" in google this story is the first to appear.

It's a shame, Spore is such a great game especially once you get to the space stage.

yeah, people are stupid

I dont know. That DRM is pretty bullshit in my opinion, not to mention the one online account per game shit.

This is sending them a pretty clear message, I would have to imagine the whole amazon debacle has hurt them to an extent with the casual market. Not to mention the fact that pirating of the game is now skyrocketing.

I wouldnt worry much for the game though, i still think it will be a success in the long term.

They deserve it for implementing such a strict DRM scheme. It's worthless anyway because it was already hacked a week BEFORE the game was even released. EA really needs to realize that hardcore pirates are going to pirate games on PC no matter what and using such strict DRM only hurts legitimate users.
