That section in the manual was a misprint and will be corrected in future printings of the manual. Users, however, have been complaining that doesn't seem possible, and while it took a while, an EA rep finally admitted 'our bad': You may have multiple Spore accounts for each installation of the game. Of course, if the game didn't have DRM that wouldn't be a problem.Įven worse, the manual for Spore says exactly the opposite: EA says you need to pay up for another $50 license. That means that if you live in a multi-person household, and multiple people would like to play the game themselves.
Now, Consumerist alerts us to another, related, issue that is pissing off many of those who did buy the game: you can only have one player account at a time. Things aren't getting much better for EA since critics of its overly annoying DRM on the new video game Spore expressed their displeasure in droves on the Amazon page for the game.
