I wasn't suggesting it would be a quick thing - even with the economic backing of EA (because - let's be honest here - at that point Maxis was still a cash cow for them) it took eight years to develop. I'm just saying that now that we as as a community know Spore 2 isn't happening, we can create that ourselves. Whether it be through extreme overhauls of the original game through modding, or making something completely different, I think this community is strong enough for it. This game came out almost 7 years ago, and look at the remaining community. If a game's community can survive things like the patch 1.06 controversy, I'm certain it can survive this.
