Related to this somewhat, I found Journalism Games.org, which has a mix of shorter games meant for use by media entities to influence opinion; or to be critical of the party lines. Bloomberg apparently made one about trying to save malls? Times of London (one of the Murdoch gems) has a few. A number of their examples are from Everyday Arcade; that's more just straight-up satire it seems. Source: about 3 years ago

Spore.com isnt working and when I try to register my account it shows up with the screen of death. Source: 11 months ago

All games are stupid expensive. Why reduce the price on a 15 year old game when you can sell it the same and it sells sometimes? It literally cost them 0 dollars, they're not gonna run out of stock, it's not gonna go bad like milk, they don't have to produce more copies nor do they spend a dime on maintenance or patches or whatever, they even forget to update the certificate on spore.com sometimes.

For the adventures, this likely means you purchased Galactic Adventures from a place other than EA/Origin store and did not redeem your CD key. You must redeem a CD key for Galactic Adventures on EA.com before your adventures and captains will appear on spore.com. Source: over 1 year ago

I recently got spore transferred to my origin account yet I cannot register within the game. I can log in on spore.com, but I cannot log in within the game itself. What is going on? Source: over 1 year ago

I have the steam version as well, and have had no problems with it before. But I checked the EA twitter, and everyone buying the new fifa are complaining too, and it looks like its their account management system that is down. You can't even log into spore.com right now, which means its on their end thats down. Source: over 1 year ago
