lol veb but ya downloading is much better its FRRRREEEEEE

I don't endorse downloading games, just because it makes it free.

For example, the only two games I've ever liked and have paid money for, are Grand Theft Auto and Toribash.

The only reason I am telling people not to buy Spore and download it instead, is because EA really needs to be taught a lesson. If you buy something, as in, a CD or DVD with something on it, it should be your right to do what you want with it. Install it a billion times or whatever.

It's like the Sony root-kit thing all over again.

Do you really want some bullshit software on your computer reporting back to EA, acting like Big Brother? I damn well hope not, because if you do, perhaps you should go suck McCains dick.

That's the exact case with a computer! They restrict access to alot of things, but it's your computer, not theirs, you should have free access to everything.

In my case, it isn't worth a penny, because the damn thing crashes the moment
i start up >_>
To make matters worse, i paid the equivalent of eighty US dollars for it.
And what did i get? A lot of time and money wasted so far. I just hope that EA/Maxis
will release a patch soon, i'd love to play it. CONSIDERING THE COST. I DIDN'T
PAY FOR A CRASHING GAME.
