For those of you who braved the dumbass DRM crap and got the game anyway, feel free to Buddy me as 'demiurgent.' Let me know your names, so I can start getting preferential download treatment to your various and sundry critters.

(If the DRM is a dealbreaker for you, I fully understand. We really, really, really, really, really don't need to rehash the issue in comments. The DRM is very, very badly done, and was stupid in the first place. It is a badness. It is evil. I decided to play anyway. Life can be like that sometimes. ;) )

For the record, I'm not not playing Spore because of anything to do with the installation; I've already got the PC version of Mass Effect, so it's all mu to me. I'm not playing Spore because I barely have the patience for Civilization, much less a game that starts at amino acids and makes it to Civilization eventually. :)

Oh, it's worse than that.

It hits Civilization... and then moves past it into Space Rangers. ;)

My utter hate for Alpha Centauri caused me to skip this one. ;)

They're very, very different games. Like I said, way more Space Rangers than Alpha Centauri, at that point. Essentially, the cell stage is a freeform arcade game, the creature stage is an open ended RPG, the tribal stage is a Real Time Strategy game, the Civilization game is halfway between RTS and Civilization, and in the Space game you're in a Spaceship flying around doing missions, making alliances, fighting off pirates -- stuff like that.

So literally, Spores is Alpha Centauri, Civilization, RPG, and Space Ranges on Acid. Amino Acid, even, with a dash of Sim City. How will it not win every PC Gaming award known to man?

There's a lot of people pissed off about the DRM. Like, holy war intensity.

Of course, a mere couple of day after I said that, my mother comes home from a road trip, and what does she have to reward me for looking after the hound in her absence?

A copy of Spore.

Oh dear.

(I am, unsurprisingly, ZGryphon, though I haven't made much yet other than a few variations of the mighty Clawsaurus.)
