According to an article on The Register, EA has climbed down significantly on it’s DRM stance with Spore.

However, take a look at this quote from a post on the Spore forums.

SecuROM as been discussed and discussed so much and it causes arguments in threads. If you want to talk about DRM SecuROM then please use another fansite forum. If there is any change you will be able to read it on the official Spore site.

Please do not continue to post theses thread or you account may be at risk of banning which in some cases would mean you would need to buy a new copy to play Spore.

They’re taking flak for a DRM scheme that effectively made people rent a game instead of owning it. They then threaten to take the game away from people who want to talk about how displeased they are about said DRM.

Yeah, really smart move. I am sure that move will generate all the good will they deserve.
