Spore came out yesterday to the waiting hands of well… everyone.

Because I am a ninja I installed it just fine on my computer, but my boyfriend had a problem with his. As soon as it was finished downloading he attempted to play it. The computer crashed. Again and again we tried this… and eventually after some research and skill he realized that if he turned off his gpu he could play the game. What!? Apparently even one of the most hyped up and waited for games in the past ten years, was released without being thoroughly examined.

I attribute all of the problems that people are experiencing with Spore are a result of EA’s old habits. Repeatedly EA has released AAA titles and then came up short. Take the Sims 2 for example. It is interesting now to look back those forums when The Sims 2 was first released. The exact same type of problems were happening with the Sims 2 as Spore.

So my fellow Spore players, worry not. In a short while EA will release a patch to fix many problems, and hopefully all of the main problems will be fixed. EA just wanted us to beta test Spore for them.
