      News, analysis and opinion from the Financial Times on the latest in markets, economics and politics





      Spore on Amazon is getting a lot of extremely bad reviews (1 out of 5 stars). Most of the reviews are not talking about the game itself, but as a warning for others about the DRM in Spore

      On Amazon.com the game has 1,302 customer reviews at the moment, but the number increases constantly. 1,213 reviews has a rating of 1 out 5 stars because of this


      This is a much better way of doing this compared to the petitions about this... here the customers can actually see the problem before buying

        The real problem is not announcing to the public the problems and lameness of the game, the problem is that people are curious and want to try it out for themselves so that they too can experience the problems and lameness. It's a human thing.

            Despite receiving generally favorable reviews from game critics everywhere, the Amazon shopping populace didn't take so kindly to EA's PC release of Spore. Slapped with a one-star rating out of five, the majority of complaints weren't directed at the game's quality — though some did take issue with the core gameplay…


            Sounds like all Spore customer reviews were gone for a moment, but according to Amazon it was just "a glitch"... I wouldn't be surprised if it was EA who unofficially hired one to hack their system to delete the customer reviews

              I think a likely scenario is that Amazon removed the comments themselves, but then saw the lashback, realized it was a mistake, and put them back up.

                Well I'll be......... it appears the DRM protest may have worked slightly.....



                DRM for Red Alert 3 will be "eased". It's still there, but not as draconian as Spore's.

                    But there wasn't much time between when they removed them to when they went back on, not much time for a lashback

                      Enough for news sites to post about it, and (I would guess) for people to start emailing them about it. It was almost a whole day wasn't it?
