Not likely.
But if you want to youtube go ahead
I am sure people will watch, rate and link it.

I understand that buying a game means I can install it on ONE PC at a time. Just because I own multiple PCs and purchase software does not mean that I am justified to install that purchased software on every machine that I own. So to the poster with the 9 PCs plus laptops... yes, EA is trying to stop YOU. And they are justified in doing that.

That made me LoL fairly hard. I mean, Tears-in-my-eyes laughing.

Once a customer purchases something, they are allowed to do with it what they want, so long as it doesn't break any copyright laws. In the post with 12 computers, he is legally allowed to install on all of his computers because he owns all of the computers (maybe not all, but most).
What you're basically saying equates to nonsense. Next thing you know, DVD's will only be allowed to be played 10 times in your DVD player, and you're not allowed to play it in anything other than that one DVD player. See how your logic is flawed?

In any case, I've already used one install, and I have now uninstalled the game. I will wait until I have saved up for a desktop. Quite frankly, I got bored with the game after going through each stage three times (and no, I never made it to the center of the universe).
Saving planets constantly and searching out the best places to sell spice got boring pretty quick. And the only fun thing I found to do would cause everyone and their mother's mother to get pissed at me...blowing up planets isn't fun if you're on the run constantly.

Anyways::Signed
SecuROM causes so many problems...being installed on Ring 0 of a PC, it open up so many back doors for trojans to get in through. It's a wonder I haven't seen many thread with "OMG COMPUTER CRASHED!!!1!ONE!!1!" Of course, it would help if I actually frequented these forums.

Oh, and for those Nay-Sayers, EA has already incurred class action lawsuits from both the installation limit (breaks laws pertaining to freedom of purchaser {unless specified in the EULA}), as well as the SecuROM, which is NOT mentioned in the EULA. Most likely, EA will be taken to court, and prosecutors will most likely cite the case of the FCC investigation into Sony's DRM problems.
Ha, here you go! Click for details!

I was responding to the idea that youtube clips could get someone fired at EA.

Has anyone from EA bothered to respond to any of these issues?

Why would they?
The people with the problems already bought Spore.
They have already handed over their money to EA.

The main concern now is to keep all these bad thougts of youtube and out of the reviews so people
keep buying Spore.

Well they might want to if they want us to keep buying any expansions that they make because what would be the point in buying an expansion for anyone who has used up all their activations and can't even play the game any more?

Thats is a good point.
And they 'promised' to up the instal limit.

I just don't think this is the main concern at the moment, but I hope to be proven wrong.
The cynic I am, I have a hard time believing that they will adress it again other then to say, here's the tool now upgrade your accounts.
