EA has buckled again to the firestorm of protest (some creatively using the creatures themselves) over their DRM. This time it's about being allowed to only have one Spore Online Account per copy of the game. Families everywhere were upset about this, and once again EA has come out with a new statement promising to address this.

Color me shocked. The outcry over the DRM on Spore has actually prompted a response from megapublisher EA. In a response carried on the MTV Multiplayer Blog, they say that a patch is coming soon that will allow end-users to de-authenticate the game on a given computer, letting you basically uninstall the game and get one of the 3 installs back.

It Done Blowed Up Good

The most noteworthy release on the PS3 for July has to be Firmware 2.40 bringing trophy support, in-game messaging, and a few other niceties like changing headsets and bluetooth settings mid-game. For actual games, though, I'm going with Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution.

Wait, that looks like...

The Spore Creature Creator is out now for PC, and there's a demo version you can get for free. I've downloaded it but while I haven't had the time to take it for a spin yet, others have, letting their creativity and hormones run free. Hormones? Yes, hormones. They're making really lewd creatures that look like they have extremely large, um, equipment, doing highly rated-M things with it.
