You can play it without logging into LIVE, and since there's no online function anyway, it doesn't really matter. You don't get achievements, though. Take that, pirates!

Post by: demi on December 05, 2008, 04:47:14 PM: maybe those copies are from people who got sick of the DRM and downloaded it after they bought it

I love the guy in the comment field about needing to reformat after Spore's DRM hosed his computer, which is essentially impossible.

i picked up SA from steam and haven't found any mods really worth speaking of.
