Spore prototypes open to public News
PC News by Robert Purchese
EA Maxis has uploaded nearly a dozen game prototypes that were designed to test certain areas of Spore.
Each can be downloaded and played, and range from behavioural and self-propagating star simulators to creature and space-game prototypes. There's even a program that simulates gravitational attraction between particles in clouds.
None of these have been tested for public use, nor are they supported or even explained particularly coherently. The idea was simply to offer eager fans a glimpse behind the evolutionary curtain.
Spore was released last Friday and predictably picked up lots of critical plaudits for the ambitious ideas on offer. Head over to our Spore review to find out why.

Are these riddled with DRM too? Can't have us enjoying ourselves too many times now can we?

Lets be honest this type of DRM your all furious about just encourages cracking more not less, they will soon see this and stop doing it, if not the millions of phone calls asking them for extensions on the number of installs surely will, unless they make it a premium rate number.
OK i give in there EVIL. Still a good game. |

@GamesProgrammer -
Ideally, they would see that they have hurt their own sales by using this DRM shit. And encouraged more piracy rather than discouraging it... But the sad truth is that EA will probably point the finger squarely at pirates and use this as an excuse to have even worse DRM in the future. |

You'll go blind, if you're not careful. |

The sorts of people who make up the bulk of EA games sales probably haven't even heard of DRM, much less know what particular disadvantages one particular DRM system confers on one particular game. And even if somebody tells them, they probably don't give a damn. I doubt EA will even notice the missed sales from the few of us who do care about that sort of thing.
