Sigh, I personally find it quite annoying when someone makes this comment. EA is actually quite good now, and has been releasing quality games, which makes this comment completely pointless. 5 years ago I would be nodding in agreement with you, but as things have been going, EA has really gotten there act together, and while yes, they still release some "What the crap?" games/problems, it's completely unnecessary to say such a thing.

On a Spore related note, the game does have an ending. That's right, so after god knows how many hours of evolving your fuzzy little creature, the game will end. Apparently it's a "twist ending" or something, but I found is sort of strange.

Maybe the universe will destroy itself. Or you destroy it somehow. Hopefully neither. I'd like to continue to play around with my creature even after I've beaten the game.

EA has been getting better somewhat, they've been publishing more than programming which is what they should stick too. Its also just a long running joke me and my friends have going. Mass Effect was a little buggy though

This has been on my radar since it was first announced, however I'm not sure that I'll be picking it up.

Purchased the full version of the creature creator but then changed some of the hardware on my PC.
Next time I tried to load it up I got a message saying I had installed the creator on too many machines and I had to buy a new copy in order to run it.

From what I hear the full game will come with the same restrictions.
If I'm forking out $50-$60 for a game I want to be able to play the damn thing, not be forced to buy another copy each time I change the hardware on my machine!

I'm sure someone will come up with a workaround to that like they did with Bioshock (I've been holding off reinstalling that as I'm afraid I'll get the same message)

From the discussion I've seen about it on other boards it seems that EA's limited install policy is driving people away from purchasing the game and leading them to obtain it by other means...so much for EA adopting that policy to reduce piracy.

Well in that case after you bought the game and it gives you that message I think it is alright to pirate the game after you have already purchased it.


I have been waiting and waiting and now it is almost here! Seen pretty much every video on this game and have read almost every interview.

The game starts off with an asteroid crashing into your planet and you start off as a single cell organism(well actually it is a multi cell but that is being technical). The game ends with you trying to find where that asteroid came from. Which I am guessing is the center of the galaxy. You however have to option to not follow that and just continue what ever you want to do. So you can still spend your entire life on one creature if you wanted to.

"This may surprise Maxis fans, but Spore does have an ending, though it is probably not what you’d expect. Players can continue playing past the end if they choose to and continue to explore the hundreds of thousands of planets that populate the Spore galaxy,"

Just pre-ordered the Galatic Edition from EA. After taxes and shipping, $90!
