Spore delayed until at least 2008 ...possibly until 2009

Spore delayed - Image 1 


The reason why Electronic Arts will miss its estimated profits for this fiscal year? Well other than the wider quarterly loss, it's because an anticipated game won't be coming out, at least not until this current fiscal year ends by March 2008. The anticipated game that is delayed? Spore.

A Reuters report notes that EA has said that it was no longer counting on revenue from Spore for this fiscal year. What's worse is that EA adds that the game could be delayed until fiscal 2009.

A lot of hopeful folks are now screaming "NOOOO..." A lot of the more cynical ones are making jokes about the game being bundled with Duke Nukem Forever.

So sad, this is.

Well...

The fact is, he never gave a direct date. Which was done on purpose. The last thing I want is to get to the end of the game and bam, oh corrupted save. Or the universe is actually pink, or your creation only walks backwards. Please, don't lump Spore with Duke Nukem Forever You'll jinx it.

blame marketing

seriouslly, this game has been "coming out" for over a year now. I WAS looking forward to this game but, as with vapor, its gone with the wind.
