NY Loves Wright
A few weeks ago we reported about the article in The New York Times featuring Will Wright. Today The New Yorker published a 4-page article covering a big span of interesting facts and tidbits, talking mainly about Will Wright. His life, achievements and the journey towards where he stand today. There are some mentions about Spore there too, mainly on the fourth and last page.
The old dream of the M.I.T. hackers who came up with Spacewar—to re-create life on a computer—was coming true forty years later, right here in the Spore Hut, in the form of a spindly, striped creature that looked a little like Will Wright himself.
It’s a very extensive article. So put on a kettle and bunker up with some snacks.

Hey there–
It’s Tiffany, the publicist on SPORE. Just wanted to tell you that another NY mag, Atlantic Monthly, covered SPORE recently as well in an article that also mentioned Second Life
Ahh, Second Life. I was soooo into that game for so long but then due to technical difficulties (ie there servers sucked ass *chop* *chop* *chop*) I stopped playing but I will always remember the fun I had…
*sigh*
Wow that is quite the article… I have a very different perspective on Will Wright, reading about his wife Jones and that whole situation and later how the author describes him as appearing “enthroned and imprisoned”
Offers human qualities to someone often portrayed as being above such things…
Hi Tiffany!
It doesn’t look like they have the article online, my searches turned out blank.
