You fool! It's a front! A trick! A mind control device disguised as a game! Weather Dominators and Monkey Soldiers?! This game is merely the starting point!GonzoGamer said:That's not too creepy, trust me.
I just got back from the alternate universe where Will Wright is a supervillain. Now that's scary.
We should be glad that our Will Wright is virtuous and always willing to entertain...and not so interested in weather dominators and monkey soldiers.
Actually, that's the opposite of him.Sonicron said:Wow, I didn't know the Sims guy was this much of a dick. Not only does he brazenly admit to this project being one big creepy spyware tool, but the smug **** also doesn't care in the slightest about any concerns potentially being raised because Bookface taught him that young people are likely to buy his product anyway.
And as for the 'crowdsourcing problems' thing, we have a means for that already - it's called an online forum.
I still don't get why people hate spore.NightmareLuna said:Sounds awesome, kinda like how Spore sounded awesome and looked awesome... We all know how that turned out.
Oh... Apparently I was ninja'd a looong time ago. Did not see this comment. ^^Loop Stricken said:As much as I'd like to say this sounds interesting, I can no longer in good conscience become enthused with anything this man does. Not since the Spore travesty.
So, by your logic I could come to your house, repeatedly kick you in the nads and still get points for being honest if I gloat about it to my friends afterwards...? Considering the kind of digital anti-privacy demon he's working on, Wright's honesty doesn't absolve him in the slightest, at least not in my eyes.Jabberwock xeno said:Actually, that's the opposite of him.Sonicron said:Wow, I didn't know the Sims guy was this much of a dick.

He's just beaing honest, and after spore came out with secuROM, he actually went behind EA's back and released a removal tool.
the whole point of gaming is that it is not about our real lives."If we can learn enough about the player, we can create games about their real life. How do we get you more engaged in reality, rather than distract you from it?"
Likewise, I'm 22, and I don't mind putting my address up on the internet.Wither said:"Young people are more open to the idea of sharing personal information than older generations, he explained". Fuck no. I'm fifteen, and ever since I read about the shit Google pulls, I'm the most paranoid person I know.
I got that answer mister Bill. How about figuring out how to make reality suck less?How do we get you more engaged in reality, rather than distract you from it?
Are there people who sit around and think "I'm bored but since I don't have any ideas about how to entertain myself I'll just keep staring at this wall."meaningful suggestions for entertainment options
