The ad for Godfather II on the right of the page is murdering all sense of wonder and excitement.

So his job is to sit down with a cup of tea and think up ideas for games, with EA chomping at the bit to develop them? Sounds like the best job ever.

Running away from the shitness that is Spore, eh?

Can't say I blame him. I'd be embarrassed too.

I'm kind of hoping that EA was the cause of how Spore ended up to be. Going by things like 'customers don't want this and that' and poll group thingies taken from a thousand people in some backwater town in the US.
Seriously, most of the time when money people get involved in something that's original they won't allow it to stay that way. I would have wanted Spore like it was supposed to be from the start. I wanted to play a civilization game when at the civilization stage, for example. And a civilization game can take hours. Not minutes, like it did in the game. And where is the danged plant editor/creator tool?! *sigh*

I don't like Will Wright due to some of his viewpoints on videogames and really I doubt this changes much of his relationship with EA, maybe well end up with the will wright or stupid fun club logo on a number of EA games like the tom clancy insignia on many ubi games.

Hey, one mega-franchise in two attempts ain't bad. Spore was a brave attempt, tho a bit of a missed opportunity in the end. But still, best of luck to ya Will, I hope you know what you're doing... what do you reckon the chances are of EA dropping him like a stone if nothing good comes out in a year or so.

Technically, if the name on the top of his paycheque has changed from "Electronic Arts" to "Stupid Fun Club", he's left EA. To work for a company owned, run and exploited by EA nevertheless, but the name change is the important part, damn it!
