Spore Creatures Now Outnumber Known Earth Species

Posted by timothy on from the does-not-count-the-hollow-earth-creatures dept.

GBC writes "AFP is reporting that, as of a week ago, the number of creatures in the "Spore" database exceeded the number of known species on Earth. They are created using 'Creature Creator,' which is available in a free (with limited parts) or paid download at the Spore website. Will Wright seems extremely happy with the progress so far: 'We hit 100K in 22 hours and a million by the end of the first week. The numbers are just blowing us away.'"

    Yeah, seriously, who wants to read CAD. That comic is awful (and the author is a bit of a dick too).

    But sooner or later, the novelty of creating giant animated penii will wear off.

    I just recently re-formatted and re-installed windows, and I'm trying not to bog it down again with crapware like DRM systems that drag down my system performance.

    Then why did you install Windows?
