If you were hoping that EA was about to release the next smash hit after the Sim’s (Spore doesn’t quite count), you may have a reason to weep. Today EA announced that Will Wright, creator of said titles above, is leaving EA to spend more time on his start up project “Stupid Fun Club“. According to Will, SFC is an “internet think tank”. A think tank responsible for creating such things as intellectual property for games, TV, movies, toys, and the internet. All is not lost however as EA is going to invest in Will’s company, SFC, an undisclosed amount of money. It really is nice to part with a company on good terms. This is a value anyone can benefit from. You never know when they might turn around and help you out. Will the next great developer at EA bring something to market to rival the Sims? It seems hard to believe. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
