Spore’s DRM Backlash
A seemingly well-organized crusade against Spore’s DRM scheme (a system intended to make pirating the software more difficult) has led to a wave of negative customer reviews for the game on Amazon. So far the crusade has had a hugely negative effect on the game’s overall Amazon rating, but it remains to be seen if Spore’s publisher Electronic Arts will respond to the criticism by changing the way the DRM works.
