despite its flaws, I played this game a shitton, but only the first two stages.

There was a split in the dev team, half wanted what spore could have become and the other half wanted the EA half assed shit

Latter team won

>>381288372
EA forced it out before it was ready, and other executive meddling. The game itself was so much fun, but it could have been the most revolutionary game in a decade.

Also, fucking RIP darkspore

They also went behind Will Wright's back and presented the cheaper "more marketable" cartoony version to EA execs.

I liked the last stage because I liked being a space Jew.

I never heard this. Jesus christ that's slimy.

Disregarded.

Does anyone actually know?

>>381288726
wrong, EA had nothing to do with why spore came out how it did.

>There was a split in the dev team

Is accurate though

Here's a 13 page writup from a dev on the team with other devs chiming in in the comments that goes into it, both the artbooks also say that there was a divide in Maxis that resulted in the shift

Because that's the only way you can play the game and get anywhere. All you do is go around and constantly trade the rare spice for money so you can colonize more worlds with rare spice to sell and make money. Might as well just use the money cheat and save yourself the boring grind.

OBSESSED

AM I FITTING IN?!

You don't understand, I get enjoyment from feeling like a Jewed someone. The grind was the fun.

>>381289827
I prefer the making creatures and terraforming aspects.

>>381289827

but you never jewed anyone, you just played interstellar spice delivery

>DLC allows you to feasibly create complex quests and stories, but is so horrifically broken to use that 99% of all adventures are steam greenlight-tier wet garbage

Really though. You don't even even get to set the price. It just bases it around the planets location away from the planet with the rare spice. A planet that's 3 stars away will pay more than one 2 stars away.
