I agree 100%. And yet (sadly) I will still buy the game. Why? Because my computer was infected with SecuROM when I installed the Spore Creature Creator which was a FREE download. If I had known it was there, I would never have installed the Spore CC (or bought Spore). Now why would they install something like that to supposedly keep people from "pirating" something they are giving away for free anyway??? The fact is however that I already have it, it did not hurt me personally, so I have nothing to lose by installing another game that has it. On the downside, since I disagree with SecuROM in principle, part of me hates myself for continuing to reward EA for their unethical practices. But I want the game badly enough that I am doing it anyway, just because it hasn't yet hurt me personally and I have nothing left to lose. =(
