Rolling Stones created a list of the top 100 people who they believe to have impacted change in America the most. Coming it at #84 is our very own Will Wright. The change he is most responsible for is spawning Artifical Intelligence with SimCity, The Sims and now Spore. Here’s what the magazine has to say:
WHAT HE’S CHANGING: This game-design god has simulated cities (SimCity), people (The Sims) and worlds (Spore), but what he’s really doing is spawning artificial existence.
FRIENDS SAY: Playing a demo of Spore, Robin Williams said, “I’m putting together a creature that would make Darwin say, ‘Hey, I’m not taking acid ever again!'”
ENEMIES SAY: “I hate it so far,” sociologist William Bainbridge said of Spore. “It seems like a cutesy children’s game.”
NEXT MOVE: Crossing over to TV; there’s been talk of a Sims show for years.

“NEXT MOVE: Crossing over to TV; there’s been talk of a Sims show for years.” OMG I heard they were going to make a movie and/or TV show! Well i heard a MySims TV show and “The Sims: The Movie” I hope one, or both, or all make it! That would be awesome and it would be so cool to see something good getting recognized for good reasons!! Good luck Will Wright! Your the best!
