EA has been SUED 5 TIMES MERRY CHRISTMAS EA MUHAHA ARR!

Yes the Spore lawsuit is global.  And word is that the law firm has contacted some of the most knowledgeable tech people on the web.

[Saraswati]

  we're in communication with them too Craftingmomma (along with others) ..

We updated the front page of Reclaim Your Game yesterday with more specific information about what the lawyer needs from gamers.  http://reclaimyourgame.com/ The main thing at this point is whatever information the lawyers get is factual, especially considering the almost intimidating volume of information they're going to have to wade through.

Seems almost like someone should be sending all this information to the voting share holders and saying '-look- at what this is doing, its taking away money from you in already uncertain times.'

The jerks at EA should go fuck their cousins and stop putting SecuRom into the computers of innocent people.

I'm beginning to think you have incest issues, you know, seeing as you just told me in a PM to go fuck my brother

This little kid sounds like they ought to join some kind of support group. Either that, or have their fingers put into separate casts so they can't reach their mother's keyboard. I wonder if she knows how annoying and ill-raised her child is?

I wonder how quickly a thread would be locked or removed if the Girard Gibb link was posted at TSR.  (okay, I'm bored) 

[Saraswati]

this will throw you guys.. but Blackgarden for one has been quite outspoken on the DRM issue.. she's posted on the BBS against it, and I've seen her on the Spore site too.. so on this issue, I don't think they're monolithically pro EA..

It's the same as, I've had supportive messages from some of the SM's on this issue (I'm not naming names)

[Paden]

Requip, there's nothing saying that you can't try...

[Requip]

I've never had an account for the TSR forums.  I had one a long time ago for WDS and Sim Freaks but not TSR.... 
Good God, I've been around for too long.

[Saraswati]

Unless they've specifically banned mentioning it on their website, they'd be a bit strange if they had a go at you about it.. All you're doing is encouraging gamers to seek redress.

[Saraswati]

guys, some additional news (found by CraigDolphin on the Prism) it looks like there's going to be a MassEffect lawsuit rolling into the original Spore lawsuit..

and it has been confirmed, the second lawsuit at this stage only covers the US (the first lawsuit is worldwide).. I've had it confirmed by Writin Reg who's in phone contact with the lawyers.

[Missbonbon]

Yay. Hopefully this will be such a hard kick in the bucket they will have no choice but to remove DRM.

[Saraswati]

I'm slightly worried that if that happens, they'll pull out of pc games totally.. but honestly if it happens, so be it.. someone else will step in to fill the void.

[SoggyFox]

That would be rather dumb - EA in involved in -alot- of PC games, including releasing MMOs.  It would be a good chunk of the market they would be letting go of.
