: Spore Spawns Wank
So after, what, two years of waiting, Spore is finally out. A trillian billion copies shipped to a trillion billion eagerly waiting fans.
And then the complaints started.
First they discover that Spore can only be activated three times before it stops re-activating Plus it uses SecureROM
Then they discover that you can only tie one user account to each activation code (Personal opinion: this is likely to completely kill any potential resale market).
Amazon goes nuts with a campaign of one star reviews which then disappear only to reappear claiming technical hitch.
That's the news. Where is the wank? Well, it's most easily found in the EA forums.
( Getting long so I'll cut! )
Angry words are being exchanged, credit card charge backs and class-action suits are threatened, and people are confirming that the "misprint" also exists in foreign-language manuals. I suspect this has a long way to go before it burns out.
