Spore Promo Video Leaked to YouTube 63
Khamura writes "As E3 draws near, those of us who have been following Will Wright's newest brainchild, Spore, are abuzz with expectation. And lo! Someone posted to YouTube a video that shows 'unedited footage of Spore that will be going to TV networks covering E3 next week'. It includes a look at the overhauled creature editor, a first glimpse of the texturing tools, and various other exciting things that had not been shown this clearly in the early prototype seen at the 2005 GDC. One of them is the ambient music when the UFO visits different planets." It certainly looks like the game we saw last year, but take with a grain of salt just the same.

While this is generally true, I think you underestimate the number of cracked/private servers out there that don't check CD keys. Witness sites like epcgaming.com [epcgaming.com]. Now obviously with a legit CD key your choices are much larger, but if you limit yourself to cracked servers you can still play a lot of multiplayer games online to your heart's content.

You misunderstood how it'll work.
Basically, every planet & specie created by players will pe uploaded on the intarwub, and every copy of Spore will be able to "get" them from the servers to include them into the single-player environments. You will see and interact with the creations of other players (or even your former creations), but they will be controlled by your computer, not by other player.
It's a purely single player game upgradable via the web, kind-of like Total Annihilation was if you didn't have any friend and didn't use the Boneyard (you could use the web to download mods and units to expand your game)
