So why do people hate the dreaded Spore DRM (or any DRM) again?

I went to gamestop to buy a PC game last night.

I looked at Spore, a couple of the employees there told me how fun it was, then I bought Diablo 2.

I still have games on floppy disk that I can install if I want to. I won't buy a game that limits paying customers in such a way sorry.

 

 You can install it as many times as you want. You just need to authenticate the fourth installation over the phone.

I'm quite familiar with the way it works, it's just the principle of it.  I followed this quite closely when the DRM was added to Bioshock (then removed) and Mass Effect.  It won't force me to pirate the games but I will choose to not spend my money when there are so many other good games out there to play.

EDIT:
@Shinlock

I agree that Steam would solve all their problems :P

Valve doesn't seem to be very vocal in their complaints of piracy...
