Spore is a wonderful game. It's incredibly well-done. However, the DRM it's
wrapped in is horribly broken. I haven't given in to buying this myself yet
because of the DRM, but if/when I do, I'll put the nice shrink-wrapped game on
the shelf and download a cracked copy of software I've legally purchased. I have
been excited about this game since I first heard it announced years ago, but I
refuse to purchase software wrapped in DRM so broken that it precludes my Right
of First Sale and must phone home regularly.
