Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Love the Sim Games Comment: I've been an avid fan of sim games in general and was really looking forward to Spore but the included DRM "feature" just kills it for me. I've made the the mistake of thinking that since I didn't pirate the game the DRM wouldn't effect me one too many times (Neverwinter Nights 2 I'm looking at you). I just can't imagine purchasing a game with an installed DRM component or excessive limitations on use. I hope that EA reconsiders so that I can buy what looks like a truly wonderful game. Customer Rating: Summary: Securerom? Say NO to DRM Comment: Do a google search of Securerom before buying this game. Then decide for yourself if you still want to install this on your system. Myself, I prefer not to allow this sort of software on my machine. A pity too, as I have been waiting for two years for this to come out. Until EA provides a patch to remove securerom from a systems that Spore is installed on, and still allow it to run, I'm going to take a pass on it. Customer Rating: Summary: Probably a good game that I would have liked to own, but... Comment: I've been looking forward to the release of Spore since I first heard the concept nearly 4 years ago. I'd like to buy it, but after the SecuROM disasters I put up with after buying Mass Effect (which also used SecuROM DRM), I don't really feel up to the weeks-long e-mail exchanges with EA's customer support or the multi-hour phone calls trying to get the damn thing to work without crashing. I don't know if it's a driver conflict with SecuROM or what, but it made Mass Effect all but unplayable. I struggled with it for a few hours, but kept getting booted out to the desktop, so finally gave up. I'm not going to risk spending money on yet another product that is intentionally defective to punish the people who actually pay for the game, while everyone who just downloads it with the crack can play free and clear with no problems whatsoever. Also I have games (like Starcraft) that I've been playing for 10 years now. Is EA going to commit to keeping their activation servers up and running for 10+ years for all games? What if they just go under or decide they don't want to support those servers? Then the game you paid good money for is absolutely useless! EA needs to learn that this is simply unacceptable, and the only way that's likely to happen is by simply refusing to tolerate their offensive practices. I'm voting with my cash on this one. Customer Rating: Summary: DRM hold back a decent title. Comment: Like Bioshock poor DRM holds back a decent game. With the poor activation system the game is being rented to you rather than yours. Gameplay is decent, but nothing extra-ordinary or worth the intrusive DRM. The principle of EAs implementation leaves a bad taste in any consumers mouth. Customer Rating: Summary: No DRM Comment: Don't buy any products that have DRM. It's time to end this customer-abusive practice.
