I saw on Amazon.com page for Spore that a lot of people were boycotting the game because of the DRM thing. And I really really want to get this game, but my hatred for DRM anything really puts me off. I lost a whole bunch (like nearly 500 songs) because some DRM server went offline and I had to get a new computer... so I don't know what to do.

Basically the only thing that the DRM does is only allows you to install it 3 times... which isn't too bad, but if you ever get a new computer or upgrade your old one in any big way (add a new video card, new HD, etc), then you could run out of installs pretty quickly...

 

Don't blame EA, blame the twats that pirate games.

 

 Yes I blame EA, it won´t stop pirates. In matter of fact it made me think of getting a pirate in order to avoid a DRM. and the 3 install things. The "funny" thing? I may not be the only one.

I'm not disagreeing that DRM's are not a pain in the ass, but if so many people didn't pirate games, there wouldn't be such a need for them.  So yes, blame pirates.  It is all because of them that such strict DRM's exist. 

And I realize that DRM's don't stop them, but nothing much will really.
