Spore DRM Controversy Spawns Protest Creatures
by Nick Breckon, Sep 15, 2008 8:16pm PDTConsumers upset over the anti-piracy measures imposed on Maxis' Spore by publisher Electronic Arts are now fighting back using the game's creature creator.
Several DRM-themed, anti-EA creatures were found in the Sporepedia by GameCulture. Many make reference to Spore's use of SecuROM technology, which limits users from installing the game more than three times before having to contact Electronic Arts for further installs.
Last week, the Spore product page on Amazon.com was flooded with hundreds of negative reviews of the game, nearly all citing the title's install-limiting DRM.
In response, Electronic Arts downplayed the controversy by stating that fewer than 25 percent of users will ever install the game on more than one machine, with less than 1 percent installing on more than three computers.

Lets see:
"Code wheels"
Doesn't limit upgrades(Hardware or OS) or HDD formats, doesn't require contacting customer support(or should I say presumed to be a thief for presumably(but probably lying about it) upgrading your computer support.
"manual look-ups"
Doesn't limit upgrades(Hardware or OS) or HDD formats, doesn't require contacting customer support.
"cd checks"
Doesn't limit upgrades(Hradware or OS) or HDD forms, doesn't require contacting super annoying "customer" support.
So nope, you are wrong, all of those are SIGNIFICANTLY(there is that word again, I wonder what it means) less annoying and obtrusive then this piece of shit.

Too bad manual and code wheel lookups arent really viable in this information age where it is so easy to just make a PDF of the important parts and include it in the juarez release.
