Spore and secuROM - Update on Page Two

...An internet connection is not required to install, just to activate the first time, and every 10 days afterquote>

That's like saying "Don't worry, you don't need an internet connection to install it! You just need one if you want to play it!"

Btw, another signature to the petition.

The Penny Arcade take on this:

My home doesn't have a phoneline, so I don't have an internet connection. What does that mean for me as a gamer? What a ridiculous idea.

This calls for a WILL WRIGHT FACEPALM!

UPDATE: IT WORKED!!!

EA is dropping the 10 day revalidation requirement from both Mass Effect and Spore!

And I am the 82nd petitioner, and people should still keep signing that petition, let EA know that we are SERIOUS about this and if they sneak it in they WILL pay.

SecuROM BAD, Spore GOOD. But Spore is better. I will get an official version of Spore, but if they have that damn SecuROM crap on there I will find a way around it.

Also, no internet connection is required to play Spore (if it doesn't have SecuROM), but creature-wise it'll be pretty bare because most of the creatures besides your creation will be downloaded from the internet. Think of it as a Masively Single-player Online Multiversal Game (MSPOMG)

Stardragon, from the sound of it, secuROM will still be on it, but not the online validation check every ten days.  secuROM by itself CAN be bad, but not always.  I won't be preordering though, because I intend to wait and find out how it affects other people's computers first.  secuROM was on the last several of the Sims 2 expansions, and only Bon Voyage caused widespread problems.

Do they have system  requirments list for Spore?
