but its on its way to becoming the most pirated game of all time because of the DRM

I knew there was a reason I was hesitant about Spore. I temporarily forgot EA has evil DRM schemes.

yup it's just punishment for being a legit customer... the DRM was broken the day it came out and pirate copies available on the torrents

Of course it was.

And of course it does. If I were more savvy about it, I'd figure out how to buy something then break the DRM.
