Bought this the other day.
Didnt say on the box that left handed people cant play this game.
(no I wont buy some stupid xbox controller for my PC that other people on these forums says crashes the damn game anyway and no I wont play with my hands bent backwards to use the right handed key configuration.

I remember over 20 years ago now, my 48k spectrum games ALL had redefinable keys.
This game is literally 165.666 million times the storage size of the biggest ZX spectrum game ever made and yet every one of those spectrum games had a far superior human-to-computer interface.

So EA could patch it? But we all know they wont. We had already bought the game and patching a game costs them money that they have already gotten out of us.

So they argue that PC games earn less money because of widespread piracy. NO WONDER! The pirated version of spore was rumoured to be superior to the official realease, I wonder if theres a playable pirated version of this game out there.

Last time I buy an EA game.

You can redefine the controls properly -- either use GlovePIE or go here. It's not an ideal solution, but it works
