I am so bummed to hear that Will Wright’s upcoming masterpiece Spore has been delayed until 2008.
Although no official release for Spore has been given by EA, it was expected to be available for Christmas 2007.
The news about Spore came during a quarterly earnings report from EA during which it issued a warning about future profits.
The company said it could no longer depend on profits from Spore in the financial year that ends in March 2008.
This means that Spore is unlikely to be on shop shelves until later in 2008.
Well this will give me more time to plan out the Planet of Stupid Evil Bastards ahead of time I suppose. Cause I’m so good at advanced planning and all…

Bummer, dude! How many more times to I have frag Slash while I’m waiting?
Are you still fragging Slash? I think it’s about time you moved up to Xaero.
DAMN!
Should have expected a delay. I game THIS ambitious deserves all the attention it deserves unless it risks not meeting its hype like Black and White. I’ll happily wait for this game to “evolve” to the proper stage where problems are minimal. As a useless plug, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts looks and sounds awesome. Finally Canadians in a WW2 game, as they should be.
I’m in agreement with you there. I’m happy Will is taking as much time as he needs to make the game as good as it can be, I just wish it didn’t have to take so long. That whole “cake and eating it too” thing.
