Will Wright leaving EA after 12 years

Postby Etoh*the*Greato » Thu Apr 09, 2009 4:44 pm

Via 1up.

Will Wright, co-founder of Maxis and one of the brains behind Sim City, the Sims and Spore is parting ways with EA to pursue another venture in the form of Stupid Fun Club, a new think tank.

As part of the severence agreement, EA gets first dibs on any product put out by SFC.

It's an interesting decision by him for he was already making oodles of money from his other games. I'm not a fan of his games but I hope for the best.

Also, Stupid Fun Club....what a name.... *Oops you're right :P
"Who is this?" they said to Me
'That the wind and waves obey
Come, let's hang Him on a tree
That His reign should pass away'
But here I am I say to you
Though you turn away, it is My will
To love you for forevermore
Peace be still, peace be still

The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

Yes. Yes, he was. Nate has bested you all. Now you must be his servants for a year and a day.

And then Will Wright will pee on you.
