I haven't even played Apartment Life. Spore just owns too much. My actual copy arrives today and it will be grand.
Bundled with SecuROM and activation schemes, what more could you ask for?
And if you're willing, you may add your review of the product: http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B000FKBCX4/ref=cm_cr_pr_helpful
;D
Yeah it still works fine, I haven't been backdoored through the SUPER SECURITY HAZARD THE EVIL SERUROM OPENED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION ITS NOT EVEN IN THE EULA!!!!!!! Its installed on one my my desktops and my laptop and they both work a charm w/o the disc natively. No slow down in computer processes. Not a degree increase in CPU idle temps. My keyboard still works fine.
Seriously, it isn't a big deal. If Spore's copy protection fucked up your computer it was a shitty computer to start with.
Actually, I don't even get it. Why even worry about copy protection when most of you pirate your games anyway?

SecuROM is why most of us pirate our games.

Man, there sure are a ton of shitty computers out there, then... especially odd since most of them gave no indication of being shitty before SecuROM. Could it be SecuROM's fault? ...Naaah, it's all your stoopid pirutez fault.

I feel rather strongly about buying current gen games. I bought every expansion pack up to Seasons. Once I heard the troubles SecuROM was giving others, however, I decided I rather not support a company that treats its customers like criminals. I have yet to have SecuROM on my computer, but I am not going to risk it, least my computer is too "shitty" to withstand a rootkit fucking around with it.

You do know about the 3 install limits in spore and the activation procedure in spore, do you? EA made certain that after 3 installs the game will not work any longer. So if you buy a new computer, or format your current computer, you loose an install. If EA takes the activation servers offline (knowing EA they will do that the moment spore2 comes out) you can no longer activate (and play) spore, since spore wants to 'activate', on install and everytime you go online.
No big deal? Are you certain about that?

I tried the first ep of the sims that had securom (without a no-cd), nero didn't work as it should an my dvd-burner (that I use for BACK-UPS) didn't work as it should either. And allthough all problems are solved now (and I'm using a no-cd), it shouldn't have happend with a 1-year old computer in the first place. MY computer to be exact. I never gave permission to install securom and there wasn't a single notice about securom, so that makes it basicly spyware. And no-one wants spyware on his/her system, so most people go for the free 'spyware'-free version of the game that doesn't break their system.
Edit to fix spelling mistakes...

This is true for me. I used to be very anti-piracy. I would pay for everything. Then I met securom, and found how easy piracy is. I will not pay for a securom infested game.
