Spore (the last Big Game released by Maxis through EA) is currently holding that record, I believe.

   By September 14, 2008 (ten days after the game's initial Australian release),
   2,016 of 2,216 ratings on Amazon.com gave the game one out of five stars,
   most citing EA's implementation of DRM for the low ratings. [1]
Spore's DRM issues were different, however.

I actually legitimately hated Spore for its gameplay. So much promise and hype...such poor execution.


Spore was really great in that different people could learn to hate it in completely different ways.


Clearly EA suffered dearly for it, and have made sure never to repeat the mistake. :(


For what it's worth, my son enjoyed the bejesus out of Spore, and even used his own money to get expansions.


There were expansions to spore?

Oh boy...
