Spore: Most Pirated Game Ever Thanks to DRM | TorrentFreak

Spore was without doubt the most anticipated game of the year. The game itself has blown away the people who have played it, but the DRM encouraged thousands to get their copy illegally. Already Spore has been downloaded more than 500,000 times on BitTorrent, and this number is increasing rapidly.

Spore is this really well rated game plagued by terrible DRM. It can only be installed 3 times, after which it is basically worthless. In other words, it is a deliberately crippled game. Now why would you actually buy a deliberately crippled game that comes with DRM when you can download a copy that is actually better than the retail version? A no-brainer, really.

Also, Amazon users have given Spore multiple 1star ratings solely because of its draconian DRM. And in my opinion, its well deserved.
