because if this is that game, eep.
It's called Digital Rights Management. My dad was trying to explain it to me. It's worse than what you think. If I understood my dad correctly, the DRM attaches itself indelibly! One would have to take pains on the order of $1,000 or more to remove it with special processes only a few labs in the country have the money for.

....they have issued a patch that removes the DRM, also....DRM isn't that hard to uninstall, it definitely doesn't cost 1,000s of dollars and require a special lab, you just need to know your way around a terminal.
By the way, I torrented the mac version just a bit ago and started playing it, i'm in creature stage now, it's very...intruiging...definitely more of a game than the sims, but still sort of a sim.

What I meant by "still sort of a sim" I meant it's still sort of a Simulator.

Then expounding on the prior abbreviation which took more time than making the original post. Bah.
