Why am I posting the following information below?  Because I’m *hoping* that during this conference call we’ll find out if there is plans for any upcoming Sim games from EA.  Here’s hoping we hear about the new MySims and Spore games for next year!  I’ll do my best to make sure I’m available to listen in on this 🙂
