Spore On Steam – No SecuROM

CinemaBlend is reporting that Will Wright’s Spore will be sold on Steam. Of course, this means there will be no SecuROM, since Steam is its own DRM.
The moderator specifically mentioned Spore but it’s possible this extends to other EA games that used SecuROM as well (like Mass Effect). If a game on Steam uses third-party DRM, it’s supposed to be mentioned on the product page.
It seems EA has had a Christmas Carol-like change of heart with DRM this week. Yesterday they released a re-authorization tool to allow you to switch your authorized installs for Spore to different computers (effectively removing the install limit for boxed copies). War’s over, gents. You don’t have to drive down Spore’s user score on Amazon.com anymore.
If you refused to buy Spore due to the DRM, will you get it now?
