| New interview |
3 September |
|
| Seed Magazine had a very long interview with Will Wright. They start out with Spore but soon they wonder off to many other subjects. Below a part:
"Basically replace the magic with science, because I think science is every bit as magic as any magic. I never really like fantasy books for that reason. I was never a big Tolkien fan. I always felt that magic kind of removed the drama from a story because magic could do anything; there were no limitations."

| Ask Will questions |
16 August |
|
| First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of news. There was a massive amount of news for the Snooty Sims site (as well as lots of behind the screens work) and there just wasn't enough time to update. But now the Sims news has slowed down a bit, I will start updating again. To prevent 1 huge update, I will just update this site every day with one newspost.
To start off with something interesting, Gamedaily gives the chance for you to ask Will Wright questions. The 10 most interesting will be given to Will.

| The Guardian had an interview with Will Wright where they talk about Spore but also a bit about his past:
"My focus started shifting more and more to players, and what they were doing," he says, "Because I found that fundamentally as interesting, or more interesting, than the actual games [was] parallel play. Sitting and looking at what someone else has done with the same game as you is fundamentally interesting to me."
