Spore Almost Ready for Production, Complete With "Sporn"

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the people-will-always-find-a-way dept.

It seems that there has been some backlash over questionable creature creation with the Spore creation tool. Some of this content has been cleverly and obviously nicknamed 'Sporn'. For better or worse, Spore's Producer Thomas Vu is saying the long-awaited game should be ready for production in about a week, keeping it on track for the announced September 7th release.

    It's single player. You can't visit your 'friends.' Also, there is an in-game setting to only download community content that has been reviewed and okayed by people at EA. Meaning no dicks, tits, or balls.

    When they pulled it from Mass Effect they said they'd do the same with Spore, we're still left with the crappy ass token activation scheme along with authenticating when you first start it and on new patches. I really hate token activation, but they at least pulled the phone home every ten or so days crap.

    I find this one particularly amusing in its simplicity:
