Such a stupid idea, limiting the number of times one can install a legal copy of the game to 3. The only thing they did with the Sims series is ask for a serial number. And considering I bought almost every expansion pack of Sims 1 and Sims 2 + University and Nightlife, I would’ve definitely bought Spore, if it wasn’t infected with DRM.

Agreed. I bought a couple of Sims 1 expansions, and all (except the one that’s about to come out!) expansions to Sims 2. They’ve gotten their money’s worth out of me, and then some…

I did buy Spore, because I’ve been waiting so long and I just want it, but, I’m tempted to look at installing a pirated version after I do a flatten+reinstall my PC anyway, just to lose the DRM.
