Ok lets get serious here.
There's this thing called dial up, some of you are maybe too young to remember it but it does exist.
So basically you guys are arguing you don't have a phone line at home ?

 

PS : Or if you have a cellphone with any kind of net browsing capacity you should be able to connect your laptop to the net through the cellphone..

 

If you have no internet, no fixed phone line, no cellphone you are screwed. 10 000 BC probably was made after you...


I am not going to pay for a dial-up connection monthly so I can try and activate a game when my internet goes down. That is beyond stupid. My cellphone does not have the ability to surf the internet either so far as I know. If it can, I am relatively certain it will cost me extra to use that feature. How about this. You stop telling other people how this isn't a problem for them when you have no fucking clue what you are talking about, mmmkay? You are spewing non-sensical crap to try and invalidate legitimate complaints. If you don't want to read about people complaining then get the fuck off the internet. It is for whining, porn, and whining about porn.

And for everyone saying they're not going to buy SPORE now: Shut Up ,this method doesn't affect SPORE since you NEED an internet connection to get the most out of the game. The 3 activation limits is a pain is the ass though, but let's be fair, 99% of us won't install the game in more than 3 PC's.

Well thank you for telling me how I am going to play my game. Here I was thinking I would mostly stick to the single player aspects, and creating units for fun because I loathe online multiplayer in 99% of games. Thank you for correcting me on that. I am glad to hear I will suddenly really want to play online, and only online. I would have thought my previous tendency to avoid online would be maintained with Spore, but you have shown me the error of my ways. Thank you for telling me my preferences.


Maybe you aren't very familiar with Spore, but what you just stated is completely wrong. Spore doesn't have an "online mode". What Spore does is download user-created creatures and populate the universe with them; this is not just a small "online mode", it is directly related to the core gameplay. You simply MUST have an internet connection to fully enjoy Spore.
