Removal of SecuROM from Spore
Dear Electronic Arts,It is the purpose of this message to petition you to remove the proposed Digital Rights Managements (DRM) solution, SecuROM, from the upcoming release of Spore in September. Echoi... continue reading »
"Don't screw your customers EA! The piraters will win with or without securom."
"Please no securom or DRM"
"I have used, and hate SecuROM/DRM!"
"Your gonna screw this up just like you did with Black & White. A highly anticipated and great selling game until people found out your latest (at the time) anti-piracy scheme: Spyware ... oh wait, you guys called it "self-aware" software. A hidden pro"
"EA should be catering to to their customers. Pirates have no intention of buying software regardless of whatever draconian DRM's you attach"
"While this game has SecuROM, I won't buy it."
"I was eagerly awaiting this game until the revelation that securom would plague it."
"I agree. We should have the right not to be penalised when buying a product. It's not right to limit our usage of it just because. People will crack this game no matter what you do so best leave the BUYERS alone!"

"SecuROM is Sh*t"
"A big screw you Sony and to you're SecuROM crap!"
"No more SecuROM"
"I agree. If you buy it, theres one download. What if theres a problem? Another Download. If theres a new computer you want to install it on, there ya go. Oops theres a problem, gotta buy a new copy."
"It sucks"
"I don't want anything installed on my computer that could make it susceptible to virus and trojans, and limited installs of a game is just ridiculous"
"release spore!!!!!!!(no SecuROM)"
"After reading about SecuRom being used with spore i will not be purchasing this game, I am not a thief dont treat me like one. I have not gotten any game with this violation of my pirvacy in it. Shame on you EA"
"Stop this madness"
"I've had to spend a week back-and-forthing with EAGames for an extension on my code -and if my computer reloads, I'll have to do it again. It's absurd! I thought I owned the game, but apparently I just bought a very expensive frisbee."
"until securom is removed, i refuse to purchase any software produced by EA"
"ALL this DRM and Anti-piracy BS has gone overboard. Period. Lets go back to CD Keys please?"
"DRM will ruin the PC gaming world."
"I actually regret buying the Spore Creature Creator from EA's official site now. Actually /regret it/. I wanted Maxis to have my money for this clever and inventive game, but EA have left me feeling cheated for the fact that I had no idea I was installing"
"Securom protection is overboard for a game that loads content from the web. 3 Installs is ridiculous. Only 2 years with extended download plan on the digital download version.... I still play games that are 10 years old, what am I to do when this game get"
