I've done heavy research.. I'm going to punch Origin in the face. The screw up everything... *Sigh*

So. I have the plain old disc Spore that I bought in 2008, with no expansions at all, internet access nor patches. It's not even in Origin or Steam or this GoG thingy. It's the original. I'm not interested in going through the drama and hassle of communicating with those bozos at EA/Origin to redeem things at this very moment. I've attempted installing 'EADM'. Dosn't work. Can't access anything online, and due no account ties or links the Spore website thinks I don't own the game.

How do I patch this stupid thing, how do I do anything? Like, expansions are supposed to have every patch, I'm willing to buy them.. but I'm hearing if certain patches aren't pre-installed it'll deny installation of the current expansions. Help.
