It's not "5 times on a PC", it's 3 times on ANY COMPUTER EVER.

...and if you downloaded it legitimately, you can only re-download it for 6 months if your copy gets hosed up, unless you pony up another $6... which is not much I suppose, when you are talking about a $50 game, but seriously, if they are going to charge me extra to be able to re-download my _only_ copy of the game... it should certainly be able to be re-downloaded at any time... As if it costs them that much more to keep my info in their database beyond 6 months... or 24 months for that matter. get real EA...

I bought Spore Creature Creator and give it a great review. Proceded to build over 40 very cool creatures. (I do 3D polygon modeling) Wow.. Great interface in Spore! Then decided to add the Creepy and Cute pac. The download updated my Spore version and added the pac. It also appears to have blown away all my previous creations! That's over 80 hours work. EA won't admit they should have issued a warning this could happen. Their service support just keeps sending Form Letter responses to my queries about this issue. Am I the only person this has happened to? I doubt it! Dave :^)
