Yahtzee, you silly man. Thank you for this:

Spore.. that new game that we should all be enjoying, but turned into something only a few people will like, and others will loathe. Yahtzee, of The Escapist, reviews different video games in his series called “Zero Punctuation.” After you watch it, you’ll understand the reason behind the title and laugh, a lot.
More Spore stuff after the video.
The biggest issue behind Spore’s release was EA(Electronic Arts)’s decision to put DRM on this game. The DRM is an issue because it limits the installation number to 3, for paying customers of this product. This, to the gaming community, is like EA taking a giant gorilla dildo and shoving it up the asses of those that have paid to play this product. It’s insulting, and they wouldn’t stand for it.
Therefore, they took public issue with it, and clobbered Amazon’s review rating:
