Users have more complaints about Spore DRM
The Consumerist has posted an article on another crippling feature of Spore’s SecuROM DRM which outlines how the game allows for only one profile per install meaning if multiple family members or friends living in the same house want to have their own individual online personas, they will have to purchase an entire new copy of the game.
The official Spore manual however reads that “You may have multiple Spore accounts for each installation of the game.” An EA spokesperson has posted however that the manual is a misprint and and there is only one profile allowed per purchased title. “That section in the manual was a misprint and will be corrected in future printings of the manual. There is one Spore registration/account per game/serial code so you are correct in that you cannot make multiple accounts at this time. I have sent your guys’ feedback to the game team though since I can understand the desire to share a game on a system that you entire family uses,” reads the post on the official Spore forums.
This latest news is very disheartening as it is common practice for most PC games to allow different user profiles with different saves in case family or friends want to both play in the same household but don’t want to buy a $50 USD game twice.
As if the game and EA’s use of DRM weren’t in the news enough already.
