Well, Spore's been cracked. So all you cheapskates can go ahead and torrent it.

I'm not downloading it and trying it and buying it and mailing Maxis $50.

So you are going to spend $50 twice?
[/quote]yes. that way the corporate mongrel is happy and will not smite me with their madden, and maxis will be happy and release more titles

Re: Spore - Wedge - 09-04-2008

This game sucks.  However it's awesome to make shit in.

Oh and Karth, incase you hadn't noticed, that's how this thread was started.  Well of course you hadn't noticed, you need Kotaku to tell you the obvious.

Can you really beat this game in a day vandam?  Cuz that will greatly influence my purchasing method.

Re: Spore - KorJax - 09-04-2008

I can just imagine what will happen.  Maxis opens it's letterbox, and it's full of $50 checks addressed to Maxis only (so no EA befuddlement) with a note in the letters saying "Pirated, but thought you guys deserved this"  Tongue

You can't send cash through the mail.  That's one of the mail rules, they are afraid the X people handling it will be too tempted and it will get "lost."

No one "lets" you send money, not even fedex or what have you. But its still extremely easy to do so, if you wanted to.

I'm sure if you sent them an envelope full of cash they wouldn't send it back and say "I'm sorry, we won't accept cash sent through the mail!". I'm sure they would take it.

I think the point is it isn't the brightest idea, what with the way mail gets lossed.  Especially mail with cash that is untraceable.

No, the POINT is to be untraceable and a symbolic gesture. You can bet if you send a check, men in black suits with sun-glasses will show up at your door with a subpoena for copyright infringement.

This.

Re: Spore - Surf314 - 09-04-2008

*sigh*

Anyways I have a better idea, why not just donate the $50 to child's play in Will Wright's name?  This is better for many reasons: you would actually do this instead of the other, it's easier, if will wright got the money he might be hard pressed using it what with legal and tax issues (assuming he got enough), I bet Will Wright would like the gesture, suspicious unmarked envelopes could spark some terrorist hunts - your special efforts may prevent them from knowing its filled with cash but they also won't know its not filled with anthrax.  Although that would make for exceptional television.

Also Child's Play is a great charity, take it from someone who spent a large chunk of their childhood in a hospital (for my little brother who was born with biliaryatresia [not going to bother checking the spelling]), stuff to do is greatly needed at the hospital especially things that will bring people together and that everyone can enjoy no matter what their range of motion or mobility.

Hah.  I've actually heard stories of people stealing money from cards.  Next thing you know guys in suits come in, cuff said mailman, and carry him off without saying a word.

Re: Spore - Scary Womanizing Pig Mask - 09-04-2008

I'd rather just buy the game legally and support the evil empire then have to go to the trouble of finding an ISO, burning it to disk, and getting around all the loopy DRM they've put into it, which probably makes me part of the problem Wink

How much money does Maxis make off of Spore though for every sale though? I don't mind giving money to EA, but I wan Maxis to get most of it, since I'm rather fond of them.
