Spore To Get Multiple Accounts Per Installation
After all the DRM drama and people complaining about how SecuROM is hijacking their machine, the most irritating aspect of the entire situation is that there is only one account available per installation of Spore. I know this is normally not a big deal to most people, but as a person living in a multi-adult household and the primary gamer, I would like to keep all my saves and achievements separate from my housemate.
Finally, the people at EA have relaxed the limitation on accounts for Spore installations.
We are going to add the ability to have multiple Spore Screen Names for any one Spore Online Account. Here's how this will work: for each copy of Spore that you have purchased, you will be able to have one Spore Online Account, just as it is now. However, we will be adding the ability to have five Spore Screen Names for that account. When you launch Spore, you will be able to log in with any of those Screen Names.
Right now, it will not stop separate achievements and saves on any given machine. All this does is makes sure that the creatures you are working on associated with the account you're working with. Hopefully in later patches of the game these issues will be resolved.

Other stuff like this: accounts, drm, multiple registrations, spore
way to go, EA, for patching in features that should have been there to begin with!!
perhaps you should have learned the lesson that the player base finds this all to be a steaming pile. (Bioshock, Mass Effect etc)
