Query: Another game ruined by EA

EA's track record of acquiring game design studios who actually make good products and ruining them in the marketing phase continues. First they saddled Mass Effect with overly intrusive and potentially system-damaging DRM (there are people who have had their DVD drives rendered permanently inoperable because of it), and now they do the same to SPORE. Both of these games were at the very top of my list of game purchases for 2008, but now, even though I've seen and played both on a friend's computer, neither one will ever touch my hard drive. EA made certain that Maxis and BioWare, two studios I am more than happy to support, will not see my money after all, and I'm just one of a large number of consumers who are doing the same. It makes me a bit sad for the studios, but angry with EA.My advice is to steer clear of this game and any EA product until they wise up and stop violating the Fair Use laws with SecuROM.
