EA is expanding its Spore Online Accounts to allow multiple users. Users can have up to five screen names per online account. The publisher received criticism from game owners over Spore's limit of one account per copy, which many felt was too restrictive for homes with several members looking to play the title. The issue was exacerbated by a misprint in Spore's manual claiming that users can have "multiple Spore accounts for each installation of the game."

After more than three years of anticipation, Spore is almost finished. Electronic Arts' evolution game, from legendary designer Will Wright's Maxis studio, is about a week from going "gold," I was told Tuesday by Thomas Vu, a producer on the game who gave me a demo Tuesday morning.
