In the Spore manual on page 52 it says exactly that "you may have multiple Spore accounts for each
installation of the game." Naturally I thought this meant that I would install the game and then I would log in under my Spore account so my creatures would be under my name and any achievements would show up on my
Spore account and my wife could do the same things. Low and behold, after the game registers to my account,
my wife tries to log in and it says she doesn't have permissions for this specific install. After much frustrated
searching I find that this is seemingly an epidemic. Apparently what EA meant was you could access multiple
accounts that are each registered to their own purchased copy of the game. What this means is, if my wife and
I want to have our own login and game info, we have to buy two copies of the game, somehow install and
register both of them (luckly we have a laptop, I don't know how you would do this with one computer in the
house). This is frickin' retarded. I am ashamed to say I bent over and let EA shove their cash sucking pork
sword in my... wallet, but we got what we wanted. I don't know how long EA will be able to do this before it
becomes a major public incident. It could be fixed, but then where does that leave people that bought
multiple copies? I think a refund would be in order.
