So I got an urge to play spore, mostly because star control origins looks like it rips off most of spore except the best part, the galactic map. Actually All the newer space games still haven't seemed to grasp how good that map was,
Anyhow, searching 'revealed' SecuROM was gone from spore.. allegedly.
I did the origin thing and eventually I was playing spore. I decided on a new laptop, and while purging the old one noticed SecuROM.
So apparently it still comes with spore.
Apparently it comes with Syndicate as well.
great.
