Now that the furor over SPORE's DRM is starting to subside it's a good time to look at how the game is doing in the market.
One good way to check is how a game ranks on Xfire, and SPORE comes up big as number 5 on the Xfire most played list. In fact, over 3.7 million minutes per day are spent playing SPORE.
One could argue that this proves the DRM issue is a non-issue; or on the flip side, this number would be double or more if the DRM debacle hadn't happened.
