Spore won't launch

[badwoofle]

Downloaded Spore through Basic Access and now it won't open. Doesn't give me the option to open. Can't do anything with it. I had gotten a popup that said something about it expired? However my Access isn't (literally just paid for it three? days ago). 

Playing on PC. Windows. 10 I think.

Hi @badwoofle 

If you bought the game through Origin, you can do the following steps

Open Origin, right click on the Spore Cover
Navigate to > Game Properties > Advanced Launch Options >Command line arguments 

Type this command -w

The game should now open in windowed mode.
Afterwards go to Spore in the graphics settings and let the game start in windowed mode. Spore is an older game, it does not run under the latest screen resolution.

If none of these work, contact support
