EA really dropped the ball on this one...

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

Hot on the heels of this nugget of news today came this.

 

 

I mean, way to go with snatching defeat from the claws of victory! Apparently Spore is now well on the way to being the most pirated game in history! Of 2100 posted reviews on Amazon.com, 92% are 1 star scores, all due to the digital rights management policies EA has instituded with this release. I really feel for the PR staff they have, because it's hard making bricks without mud, let alone straw!

 

About the only good I can see coming from all this bad press is that other companies will be hesitant about going down this path for a little while yet (except for Valve probably ).
