It looks like Electronic Arts is dealing with more than one issue with how people set up their just released alien evolution sim Spore. We've already reported on how people are upset about Spore's current DRM set up (something that EA has yet to address) and now it seems a misprint in the game's manual has caused further protests.

According to the manual people can set up more than one Spore account for each installation but in fact that is not the case; you are stuck with just one account per installation. An EA rep on the Spore message board states, " That section in the manual was a misprint and will be corrected in future printings of the manual. There is one Spore registration/account per game/serial code so you are correct in that you cannot make multiple accounts at this time. I have sent your guys' feedback to the game team though since I can understand the desire to share a game on a system that you entire family uses."
