On Will Wright and Spore

It seems that there is significant interest for Spore from people outside the gaming world. John Seabrook of the New Yorker has an article that profiles Will, what he’s done and what Spore is going to be. If we need more evidence that gaming is going main stream (and I don’t think we do) this should be a good piece. With all this interest educators are also likely to perk up as even the most conservative likely use mainstream media for the majority of their news. I don’t think they would use it in their classrooms, but they may become curious about it at least because of how they are hearing about it.
