Recently posted on The Sporum (Spore Forums) we got word that the ability to create up to 5 Spore screen names per purchased copy of the game was coming shortly. So what exactly does this mean and will it fix these blasted DRM issues? Well no, now you will have one Spore Online Account, same as now, but you can add other screen names so that your family and friends can play and not affect your saves.

We are going to add the ability to have multiple Spore Screen Names for any one Spore Online Account. Here’s how this will work: for each copy of Spore that you have purchased, you will be able to have one Spore Online Account, just as it is now. However, we will be adding the ability to have five Spore Screen Names for that account. When you launch Spore, you will be able to log in with any of those Screen Names.

The content that is made and the MySpore Page will be associated with the logged in Screen Name for that account. Each Screen Name will be able to view and create content, Buddy Lists and Sporecasts that will be tied to that Screen Name. The Achievements earned will be credited to the Screen Name that is logged in at the time the Achievement is triggered. In the first iteration of this change, all Screen Names will be playing in the same Galaxy and any content downloaded by any Screen Name will be available in the Everything section.

This sounds pretty damn lame to me and I think they need to work on DRM fixes and not adding screen names to accounts. What do yout htink?
