See, this is where The Sims Team/EA can learn from Maxis – they care a whole lot about the community and knows that customers come first when making a great game. Darkspore Executive Producer Mike Perry told Now Gamer that a console version of Darkspore could hit consoles – if us, the customers, would want it. Mike and the rest of Maxis will be keeping a close eye on the community, commenting the following:
“We’ll definitely pay attention to our community as we launch the game, but this isn’t the kind of game we’ll ship and then move onto something else. Darkspore is going to be a community – when we launch the game in late March we’re going to continue to support the community as long as we can.”
He also touches base (and makes it clear) that there will be no restrictions on Darkspore like there was when Spore originally launched:
“We allow players to install the game client wherever they want to, on as many PCs as they want to,” added Perry.
Good for you Maxis, show the others how it’s done!
