Ann Asher's FAQ

Questions:
1. Can I link to your blog?

2. Can I use your stuff on my site or blog?

Answers:
1. Yes! You can link to my blog without even asking me. (But feel free to let me know.)

2. You may use a part of my posts on your blog or website. Please do not copy entire posts onto your blog. Use no more than half of each post's text and then provide a link to this blog.

Don't put my Freebie Friday stuff on your blog or website for download. (Giving a copy to your mom or friend is a-ok!) I want them to always be free, but I also want to know things like how many downloads there were, so I want to control who gives them to people. So, you cannot redistribute any of my free content or designs (like Freebie Friday content) by hosting them unless you have my permission to do so.

You cannot use any other work of mine on your site or blog. Please contact me if you would like to buy rights to use something I wrote.

Spore DRM "A Corporate Decision" says Will Wright

Here's a link to an interesting article on ars technica about Will Wright's thoughts on Spore's DRM.

"They had a plan and the parameters, but now we’re allowing more authentications and working with players to de-authenticate... For most players it’s not an issue—it’s a pretty small percentage—but some people do like wiping their hard disk and installing it 20 times, or they want to play it 10 years later."

Spore Game Mods

The Facepunch Studios forum has a great thread which lists a collection of mods for your Spore game. It explains how to install, troubleshoot, and disable mods, too. Worth checking out if you love to mod your games! I can't vouch for whether they work or not, though. Use at your own risk.
