Kotaku has word, via the latest issue of Game Informer, that Will Wright's magnum opus, Spore, has been delayed indefinitely. After a bit of sleuthing, however, it turns out EA has actually pushed the title from fiscal '08 to fiscal '09; a sobering alteration, certainly, but not the apocalyptic announcement we were originally handed.
The title - which seeks to provide gamers a way to shape the very evolution of a species, and, in turn, an entire world - has been delayed a number of times already, and with such a massive scope, we imagine we're only a few months away from an announcement delaying the game until Jesus Christ comes out in support of Darwinian Evolution.
Since Spore has topped almost every list of most-anticipated titles since its original announcement, today is a dark day in Whoville. Little Cindy Lou Who has spent the last three hours weeping inconsolably into her stuffed Lorax, and Tommy has, once again, become completely mute.

WHO WILL COME OUT FIRST?!?!
thank god Im a console gamer. those never get pushed back 2-3 years.....with the exception of FFXII
So basically never
I am curious to see what happens to this game now that its going to be pushed to 2009. Its either more time to make things right or more time to make things wrong.
Well, since EA just created an entire division of itself for 'The Sims'.. perhaps he's not the only one buying his own hype.

Basically EA now has 4 sections, EA Sports, EA Games, EA Casual... and The Sims... seriously.
This is when you know EA has fully enveloped Will Wright's creativity, mind and soul... It indeed is a sad day.
So lets see where I get a job at when I graduate. At least I wont get sucked into EA...
You know.... this is why people release BETA versions, and then put out update packs. If the game is on PC, then people will most likly have INTERNET! and can DOWNLOAD pretty little bundles called PATCHES or SERVICE PACKS. I am not condeming EA for this..... but it would be a nice idea to START BETA TESTING IN THE PUBLIC ARENA!!! Instead of crappy delays!
