Alright, heres a bone here... didn't know where to throw it, so I went random.
I have Spore, and I have the $53.16 Spore I just bought now (it would of been more if I had more cash to spend on that collector edition >.> and fully plan on obtaining that in the long run if it sticks around.) anyway.
If I uninstall my current non-legit Spore, and Reinstall it using the key from the purchased Spore. In any event could the difference be told? If so, would EA care?
As for that "limit" if I remember correctly, I think the "ExE" is what helps make the calls to home base. If all else, switch out the exe, and everything should be just fine. Myself, I'm going to go make that test now. I have nothing else to do anyway... and I need to make a test any how, the Pirated Spore has some.... significant issues, specifically regarding screwy geometry on planets, and things that just well ruin the experience. Maybe a legit Spore will be healthier. (In the long run, this will [I]only[/I] be installed once, because if Target STILL has the Galactic Edition by the time I get more cash, oh boy I'm getting it, and shipping this game off to a friend of mine)
Thoughts?
