Spore Leaked

An Australian user of the Facepunch Studios Forums managed to snag a copy of Spore almost a week before the US gets it.

Let the bitorrenting begin!

Now don't get me wrong I don't condone it for others, but since it IS technically an EA game... Well you make your own decisions.

EA is evil.

Will Wright is awesome.

Which will you choose?

Is this game pirateable? I don't think it is seeing as I had to enter an EA account when I was playing the trial. Maybe I am not sure, can anyone get back to me on this?

If it's not, somebody will crack it soon enough. Pirates get what they want eventually.

seriously

Spore is such an innovativ and ambitious game that EVERYONE should pay for it. Otherwise you (torrent user) will once again proof the indzstry that innovation isnt profitable in such a scale.

3.1 - Yeah but..
It's Will Wright and EA doesn't have really any say over his studio. Remember too that this dude made the Sims 2 and Sims under the EA name.

I know what people think about EA, but Will Wright is in his own league even under their name.

The middle finger one and the box licking one was incredibly uncessary.

I don't get it, who is he doing it towards? Us, for getting the game earlier than the rest of the crowd? Or towards EA, for defying the system and getting a copy earlier than the rest of us?

I thought that one of the big things about Spore was that it would automatically download content in the background. So when you play the RTS portion, you would be playing against creations put together by another player.

I would assume the servers are not exactly packed with user generated content yet (the Creature Creator stuff was only a small part of the overall stuff a user can generate). Plus it would be rather easy for EA to detect who is trying to connect to their servers before the launch date.

So, lucky him for getting an early copy. But I'd prefer to wait a few days and get the full experience.

On the subject of pirating this game. I don't see much point. I'm guessing that because the Creature Creator required an EA account, the full game will too. Should make detecting ripped copies a bit easier (dupe keys etc). And what's the point of playing Spore offline only if you can't access the servers for all that user generated cool stuff?
