I'd also like to know if Securom ships with mac versions of the Sims games and Spore? Does it have the same effect on macs as pcs?
As of BV, it appears that Aspyr doesn't ship Securom with TS2. Or if they do, it's incredibly benign because no one has managed to capture evidence of it. Securom has been available for OSX for a long time, like years apparently, so I honestly don't know what goes into the decision to include it or not. One factor may be that piracy of mac games isn't as widespread; it takes months after release to find a torrent and except for a handful of very popular games, it's hard to find a good torrent even then.
Also, let's face it: mac games are such a miniscule fraction of game sales, how much are you really losing if a few players pirate a couple dozen copies? Obviously up to now, EA hasn't believed there's any profit in it, else they would have done the port themselves.
But for Spore and the future, no one knows. EA, in their predictable greed, may very well take over the mac versions if they believe the mac gaming market will expand.

While I'm actually posting...Zazazu have you written a second chapter to "Dark Side of The Moon"? I really enjoyed the first one but can't find any sequel.
I had one in progress, but the Apoc challenge can never hold my attention. 'Hood is now deleted and not backed up. I have issues keeping with one 'hood or story line for awhile. Notice that Prospect Beach is abandoned, and while I'm playing Teardrop Isle, I haven't been writing it up.
Kraken:
That's a shame you really had me intrigued with that strange new planet theme. Certainly a different take on the Apocalyse.
I like most Science Fiction which is probably why I was rather interested in Spore until bloody secuROM in its new form was to be sneaked into it. That they've included secuROM in the demo of the creature tool rather annoys but I shouldn't be surprised since they intend to charge for the full program!
