hay the pre-orders for spore are out and its only supposed to be $50...:oduh dun duh:o

does anyone know if this is true or not because spore has been work on for so long and they are are using pretty massively complex engines for the procedural animation.

IK there is the possibility of having to pay 4 the online part :cry: but i don't see maxis taking that step anytime soon.;)

Aren't EA in charge? I can def see micro transactions or something like that creeping in.

there is no online. the only thing there is is a server full of user content.

Please redirect all your Spore related questions to the official spore thread. There is information there about costs: as in it has not been announced about further payments!!

We're talking about whether there will be additional costs for the online content, not just the standard retail price.

It can be argued that the entire game is online, since content creation and sharing is the core of the game.

I would understand if anyone wants to pirate the game if they charge for "extra content"

There. I said it. They want to screw the consumer over, fine! I can screw them over. Sorry, Will Wright, youre a good guy but I cant support EA like that.

I mean, how do we know they dont cut content then distribute it over a period of months at additional cost? Whats next, cars without radios, then you gotta buy the radio a month later for 500 bucks?

Thanks.

But in hindsight, piracy is wrong no matter what. So maybe after a demo I might get it, but if not then a simple boycott shall suffice.

srry BG IK i even posted on your thread lol.

but they think that there might be a cost 4 connection to sporepidia.

and new games that have just come out can cost up $100 and spore is really new and awesome and better than any other game!

$100?, I ain't paying $100 for any game. And as far as spore is concerned, well see how good it is, once it actually comes out. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I will try the demo and see what all the hype is about.

This is EA we are talking about... but having said that I doubt it will be $50 a month for the subscription
