Please purchase from Origin or GOG instead. Therefore, at this time, we are not recommending that you purchase Spore from Steam. The Spore community is not sure if, or when, this issue will be fixed.
As a result, you cannot use online features in Spore, or use many mods. This means it is no longer possible to create a Spore account or redeem the game on Origin if you purchase Spore from Steam. At this time, it does not appear to apply to the Spore expansions, as they are not part of EA Play. This applies to all EA games available in an EA Play subscription on Steam, though note that this issue also affects people who have outright purchased the game too.
#Spore like games 2021 serial
Recently, EA has removed game serial codes (CD keys) from Steam, due to concerns of an exploit that lets people claim the key, and then refund the game or cancel the subscription used to download the game (note that Spore is available in an EA Play subscription on Steam). Additionally, the game will not appear in the user's Origin library, so they are unable to download it from there, and thus cannot use many mods.
#Spore like games 2021 code
If the code is not redeemed on the EA account, players are unable to follow the instructions to create a Spore persona/account, and therefore cannot use any online features of the game. That section of the guide actually came straight from MaxisBazajaytee back on the Sporum. This process has been around for years, and is documented in the above linked guide under "Registering Spore on Origin". In the case of Spore, there is also a large modding community (as with many Maxis games), and Steam is known to have DRM that interferes with many mods, so many players do choose to uninstall the Steam version of the game and use the Origin version instead, so that they may use mods. This process previously worked for all EA games available on Steam. This serves as a form of DRM, ensuring that only paying customers can access the servers.Īdditionally, this also allows the game to be downloaded via Origin. Spore requires a serial code (CD key) linked to an EA/Origin Account in order to create a Spore persona and connect to the servers. I am SporeMaster Kyle, who wrote the " Getting Started with Spore" guide in this forum, and I will be referencing that guide here. I am creating this topic on behalf of other users who are experiencing this problem (there have been numerous people asking on this forum, as well as on other community-run sites), as well as serving as a PSA, and a central place to track this issue. Recently, EA has made a change to how some of their games are distributed on Steam, which has a major impact to Spore on Steam.
