Let me give you just a couple of examples: Epic Games and Atari. A lot of people from major players in gaming business have been bitching and moaning about how much the secondary market hurts their sales figures. What publishers and producers are actually trying to do is to get rid of the secondary market by any means necessary. It hasn’t worked before and I bet they knew for sure that it won’t work with Spore either. DRM for stopping piracy is just an excuse. “DRM methods aren’t even designed to prevent piracy, but to prevent secondary markets of said games”.
SPORE GAME COST HOW TO
EA and SONY and the Recording industry are all going to eventually pave the way for someone else to come in and make a butt load of cash who knows how to play the new market. The question now is can I trust EA to give me something I want in the future or should I just go straight to the forums? I already know the answer. EA shouldnt bitch about the DRM workaround crap instead they should be happy that more people will be playing it. In retrospect I would have shelved the game like I did with black and white 2 years ago when I had similar issues…this time was different, I knew there had to be others as frustrated as me and more capable at making it work.

Thanks EA for bringing this game to market! Thanks to everyone else who went to the trouble to make it useful.
SPORE GAME COST PLUS
Went online and found a ‘version’ that runs flawlessly plus allows everyone to have their own character.
SPORE GAME COST PC
I had the game given to me for my birthday and had trouble installing it plus it wouldnt allow different people in my family to play with their own characters and we only had one PC it would run on. Maybe they should of released it all on Steam… Collapse replies (1) Reply View in chronology It seems when EA just lets developers do what they want and keep their “business strategies” out of it they make better games and don’t suffer from these kinds of issues.ĮVERY single EA game that comes out with DRM gets pirated, and a fair number of people are actually boycotting the brand entirely now.Īnd lets not forget about the lawsuit. Then you get events such as with Warhammer Online where they absorbed Mythic, but left Mythic to their own devices to make the game. For example, you get asinine events like Spore that should result in whoever suggested the DRM scheme to be fired. Please note that 70-80% of the people that purchased the game on Amazon gave it a 1 or 0 stars BECAUSE OF THE DRMĮA seems to be a bit too big of a company, the various departments don’t seem to know what others are doing. Some people did both.Īlso, you can’t go around touting that sales number as evidence “it worked” not just because of the RETURNED games (which the retailers pay for BTW, not EA) but also because of that whole Amazon consumer review scandal. Please note that B and A are not exclusive. After they managed to sell close to 2 million copies the first three weeks a LOT of people A) returned the game and B) went and downloaded the pirated (DRM free) version.
