Darkspore Servers Shutdown, unplayable, no support, removed from Steam

You know how a while ago warnings were issued about always-on DRM games? Games like Diablo III, SimCity and for a short while Miner Wars 2081, fall into the category of games that will cease to exist once the master servers shutdown for good. You get an example of how this will work with the Darkspore, which is no longer receiving support, and no longer available for digital purchase from Steam.
