My g/f got the game on release day and we both installed the game on our PC's and she started playing first. She was able to register her game and log onto her account which she made for the creature creator. I then came to play on my pc and tried logging in to my account which I made with the creature creator but I couldn't register the game.
Now we don't want to be playing at the same time but I would like to be able to play the game with my own content which I made in the creature creator. At the moment I am only able to play offline, although I can play offline at the same time as she is playing online. In order to be able to get more creatures than the maxis premade ones every now and then I'll log into her account on my computer to download creatures so I can experience user made content.
I'm also not willing to buy another copy of the game just so I can play as well on my own account.
The game was designed for multiple accounts just like the creature creator was and because EA are robbing %$"$^"%'s they seemed fit to change how multiple users can play the game.
What possible reasoning could they have for making familes have to share not only the same account but also the same worlds and achievements. I will be following this topic and I hope EA see reason and change the way multiple users can play the game. As for DRM there's always people who will get round the sytem so securom hasn't helped at all against piracy.
We are honest paying customers who want to play the game as it was originally designed. Why else would you be able to log off your account if you couldn't log onto another one like the manual states that you can.
At least give your paying customers feedback, this has been one of the worst releases I have ever seen and has mared an otherwise interesting game.
Also worth keeping an eye on this thread
