Wow, all of the visuals remind me of Spore. I loved the idea of Spore, and I even liked certain aspects of the game when it was made. If this has any of that degree of customization, along with some good game play, I'd be all for it.

It's a shame though access to the Founder's edition is $100. I was rather interested in seeing what they've come up with.

Yeah, would've been helpful if they'd mentioned that in the article.

They might not have known. The email they send out has zero mention of purchasing anything. I've double checked it. Even their website doesn't mention the cost, not until you've filled out the survey and gotten a letter back does it mention buying into the program.
