Hello, fellow wikians. I come with some very unfortunately news.

As you all may know, Maxis - the developers of Spore - had their main building in Emeryville shut down. This is depressing not just as it damages our chances of seeing a new Spore released, but because it damages the chances of many employees to receive a job. Given the developers' recent failures with SimCity and Sims 4 and Will Wright's departure, the studio arguably had it coming, but that does not lessen this very unfortunate loss.

On behalf of SporeWiki, I give condolences to the ex-employees, my best wishes to them in finding a new job within the company, and condemn the actions of Electronic Arts and their money-grabbing antics which have plagued the industry for too long. The Maxis "brand" still lives on, but it's safe to say the chances of a new Spore being developed are even lower than they were previously now.

These are very sad times for us all.
