Comment Vote with your Wallet (Score 1) 900
I know there's a lot of Spore love around (heck, I'm excited, too), but the only way to let companies know that this kind of stuff is going too far is by voting with your wallet-- if enough people don't buy the game, or buy it and return it to major retailers saying it's defective because they don't have a home internet connection, then something will change.
If your "shiny new game" lust overwhelms your outrage, then don't bitch about it here. You have a choice whether you play the game, and your money is how businesses judge their actions.
