We’ve all heard of Spore, the game where you evolve creatures from the puddle of muck stage through to galactic conquest. It’s a very, very neat game! Unfortunately, it’s not a game worth buying, and the reason for this is (drum roll, please) DRM! I needn’t cover the details of the system that ruins the game, as various reviewers on Amazon.com do a great job themselves. Of the approximately eleven hundred reviews currently available, over half are one-star (the lowest rating you can give), and just about every. last. one. goes on about the DRM.
