EA Benelux launches www.sporegalaxy.nl, an interactive journey through millions of player created Spore objects.

The website can also be seen in other languages, English being one of them. It's not the same website as www.sporegalaxy.com by the way. This one has nothing to do with Robot Chicken.

I got a mail from MaxisCactus about a De-Authorization Tool for Spore. It's very interesting.

Hey Everyone,

In recognition of player feedback regarding DRM and SecuROM on Spore, Maxis is offering a standalone download so that users can now "de-authorize" a computer if they would like to make that authorization available for another machine.

Machines can be de-authorized or re-authorized at any time. The total number of machines on which Spore can be authorized concurrently will continue to be five. To de-authorize a PC, download and launch Spore_deauth.zip and run the Spore De-Authentication Tool.exe file.

You can de-authorize at any time, even without uninstalling Spore, and free up that machine authorization. If you re-launch Spore on the same machine, the game will attempt to re-authorize. If you have not reached the machine limitation, the game will authorize and the machine will be re-authorized using up one of the five available machines.

Thanks everyone for your feedback, we hope you find this tool useful.

A Dutch celebrity, Micha Klein, has awarded many promising artists during the launch of EA's newest game Spore.

During the launch of the newest game Spore from Electronic Arts, Computer Artist- and Veejay pioneer Micha Klein has handed out the first Spore Expo Award and a cash prize to Roos van der Heiden, with her creation 'The Clash Of The Species'. Roos is one of the young artists of Project 7, each of which has, using art and animations, shaped the new game Spore in their own way. The jury criteria for the Spore Expo Award consisted of using your creativity and fantasy, surprise and connect with the universe of Spore.

You can view the Dutch press release here. If you are truly interested, you can translate it through Google or something. I don't think it's really interesting. It doesn't contain any information we haven't posted before.

This week people from all around the world will be able to buy and play Spore. Europe will get it first. The country where I live, The Netherlands, will get it on September 4, as do many other European countries. Here is a list of the release dates and the regions/countries:
