Spore DRM
With spore coming out very soon, I've started to take interest. However, the DRM issues really worries me. For those who don't know how the DRM works, this is how it works for the creature creator:
- Spore is "authenticated" at install - Spore will not need a disk to play - Only THREE installs are allowed - Uninstalling does NOT give you back an install - Reinstalling counts as a new install - EA will allow extra installs on "a case-by-case basis by contacting Customer Support." The big issues I have are: - If I'm buying a game, I want to OWN THE GAME, not just 3 "rights". - Shit happens, sometimes you need to reinstall games or reinstall your system. - Since authentication is needed to install, in a few years when EA drops off support for the game, all you own is a useless disk. I fail to see how this will stop piracy. The DRM will be cracked, it ALWAYS is. In fact, I will go as far as to say it's going to ENCOURAGE piracy. Personal thoughts? Will you still buy spore? How will Digital Rights Management (DRM) work with Spore Creature Creator? Last edited by Mooga; 08-23-2008 at 10:18 PM. |
