I’m going to just have to take your word on that one. That frankly sounds like a case of actual fraud that I’ve been unable to verify, despite finding plenty of other controversies around the title, and basically an unproductive outlier to this discussion.
I will note the DRM server shenanigans are something I think should be illegal (on the basis that’s it’s a kind of fraud, but different than what you wrote about) though, and I’m surprised you didn’t bring that up.

- SllX 4y agoWell I’ll be damned! That’s a terrible way to sell a game. Chalk that up to another reason not to buy from EA. That said, did people continue buying this game knowing that? Was there any backlash or controversy? Because despite the DRM activation servers going down I did see some enthusiasm around keeping this game going.
- db48x 4y agoThe controversy was mixed up with the overall dislike of single–player games that required you to have a constant internet connection, which had gotten started a few years earlier. SimCity, released by EA in 2013, got a lot more hate because of it than Darkspore did, but at least you could have more than one city at a time and when you finished with one you could still play it as many times as you wanted. If you could stomach it. Darkspore just didn’t have the cachet that SimCity did, so it didn’t attract as much attention.
