Falsely assuming that his work on Spore and his other previous franchises is done, we asked Wright if he ever would return to them.

I’m spending a certain amount of time every month actually working with the Spore team on future versions of Spore and expansions. So I will [still] be involved with EA on developing the Spore franchise as well.”
