I wonder what Will Wright's opinion on this turn of events is. I bet hes pissed.

i bet you're right.

the entire gaming community is of two minds over this:

1. i really, really wanted SPORE... but, meh. i'm not going to support this kind of DRM, so i will not be buying or playing it.

2. lulz, hax. myne nao! 4 free! kthnxbai!


either way, EA is fucking themselves over like the greedy, arrogant idiots they are. they're going to ruin a wonderful game.

Creature creator was leaked!  Here's what I've been working on.

Well that's creepy looking.

Once again, the extremists of a group make the entire group look bad.  Militant Atheists are criticizing the religious aspects of spore..which seem to consist entirely of "Well, your civilization can develop one."  Oooh. scary.

With its whole premise of a single-celled organism evolving into a creature and then a civilization, you'd think religious groups might be offended by the upcoming Spore. But according to the game's creator, Will Wright, it's just the opposite. It seems that the only religious groups voicing concerns are atheists who are concerned about the inclusion of religion in the game at all (Spore's civilizations can eventually develop religion in their culture). Will Wright spoke about this surprising phenomenon in an interview with EuroGamer:

    "I think our bigger fear was that we didn't want to offend any religious people; but looking at the discussion that unfolded from this thing, what we had was a good, sizable group of players that we might call militant atheists, and the rest of the players seemed very tolerant, including all of the religious players."

Wright explained how the development team made an effort to treat the religious aspect of the game with respect. They were careful not to fall definitively on one side or the other:

    "We didn't want to go too far down that path: We leave the whole creation of the universe question open. Obviously as the player you're coming in and playing something like a god, directing the evolution of a species, but we never really state who you the player are."

I'd say if you're making a game about building a civilization, it would be a pretty big oversight to not include religion in some way. Every civilization in history has been influenced by religion in some form or another.

Doesn't something come out today? Core? Whore? Something like that... Can't remember...

fuck.

It's not impressive to play until the last stage of evolution and mix that with the DRM bullshiat (it's the principle of the matter, dammit!) and you get what people are complaining about.

huh... THIS is interesting: http://www.spore.com/comm/prototypes

i want to try these out.

OH.. and i have acquired a copy of Soore and have been playing it (thanks, Spooki).

i hit the Civ phase last night.  i AM enjoying the game.. but, goddamn, its so fucking shallow compared to what we were promised.

its Fable all over again. T_T

maybe the Space phase will make up for it. we'll see!

So, even Will Wright isnt in charge of his own games anymore?

Shouldna let EA buy Maxis.
