EA to loosen 'Spore' DRM
A future update will allow owners of Spore to install more times than previously announced.

Speaking to MTV Multiplayer, EA said that legitimate owners of the game will be able to transfer licences between computers through a patch in the "near future."

Currently, users cannot install the game - which installs the SecurROM copy-protection software to stop piracy - on more than three systems.

The DRM (Digital Rights Management) has caused backlash for the publisher from many users, with negative scores for the game appearing on Amazon review pages.

Spore was released exclusively for the PC earlier this month.
