There have been grumblings about the much anticipated Spore for the PC. First there was widespread hacking of the game code. Next, we hear that you only get three installs per serial number. Finally, we now understand there is only one account per game. What are the chances that you may live with more than one person who wants to play it?

That section in the manual was a misprint and will be corrected in future printings of the manual. There is one Spore registration/account per game/serial code so you are correct in that you cannot make multiple accounts at this time. I have sent your guys’ feedback to the game team though since I can understand the desire to share a game on a system that you entire family uses.

This is just another reason why PC gaming is becoming more of chore than a pastime. PC games are much better for RTS games but I would use a wireless keyboard and mouse on a console for that reason.
