http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2008/05/maxis-responds-to-the-spore-drm-controversy.php I dont think it was a change their minds, but clarification because in that article the guy gets an email from a developer of SPORE clarifying about it. EDIT: although the change may of been in place like that for mass effect. |

I never had much interest in Spore or Mass Effect to begin with. Although Spore was starting to show a little bit of promise to me, but now what faith I had in it has been shattered. I do not wish to subject myself to such business practices. But what's really scary and disturbing to me is how this behaviour is seeping into the rest of the video game and computer industry, if it hasn't done so already. |

Wait, what if you go on vacation or something, is there a way to get your game to start working again after 10 days? Or would it just become useless with no hope of fixing? |

No, for spore you only have to validate it on installation and when you download new content. |
