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

Because it's pointless.... since that's the kind of thing that isn't effected by online downloads? I mean if you needed to be online to install it sure... but i don't see what the 3 download thing accomplishes, other then the fact that the game was designed to run without the CD for some goofy reason.

I mean... if anything Spore is easier to pirate then most games thanks the the DRM and setup of the game.

Well that and i'm the kind of person who reinstalls and deletes games a LOT. I can name about a dozen games i've installed over 3 times.

As for downloading a crack... isn't that illegal?

Downloading a crack is not illegal.  Same as downloading a no-CD crack for a game you own isn't illegal.

 

@Ail, I will complain about wrongs because if I don't complain (I may get pent up rage issues), but if I don't complain then nothing will change.  So when stupid thinks like Starforce, DRM limited installs, etc. are put into games I will complain until things are corrected.

 

It's not illegal to circumvent DRMs?  Weird.

Same with the no-CD crack eh?
