I now think even more strongly that Spore has great potential

    While he is right about that, this doesn't really apply to Spore as the different games will be in sequence and not like in Sids game where you play a bit of game1, shift to game2 and then back to game1 again
    This space is empty... or is it?

      Also, it's a bit of an aside but *cough* Sid Meier's Pirates! *cough*

        What's wrong with pirates? It's a very fun game if you need to kill 15-20 minutes....

          Pirates' minigames are shorter though.

            That would be stupid, I expect at least Spore: Warbeasts and Spore: Beyond the Claw

              Clearly, not all multi-genre games suck. Some work; others, don't. Meier says that in order to work, the different games included must be well integrated. "Pirates!" worked, but "Covert Action" didn't.

                They could release "expansion content" though aka oblivion. $0.99 for certain new weapons for your advanced Sporeciv or certain DNA traits.

                  The "expansion content" comes from creatures and such that other players have built.

                    Pirates sucked, big time.

                        And some of that they'll figure out some way to charge for

                              Oh, and anyone that thinks there wont be extra attempts to extract cash from people with Spore is woefully naive.

                              I haven't been following the progress as closely as some here so I can only speculate, but if standard expansions have been ruled out then it will probably be something like being able to buy the ability to create pink fluffy creatures as before, but now with yellow polka dots!!

                                Yup...EA have shown themselves quite good at money making schemes like that
