WTF? I thought "Darkspore" was one of VoD's witticisms.
No, then it would've been Turdspore and we'd be at page five of discussion about it already.

What Spore could've been (or was)
2005 Spore demo video. Watch it if you haven't already.

Why remind us of what it could've been! WHY! :cry:

There was a long essay on Spore forums just before its release in where few people had dug up all the information and rumors along the way, showing how the "Cutesy/streamlined"-school of thought in Maxis defeated the "Deep/complex"-school bit by bit.

I didn't save it and quick Googling didn't bring it up anymore. IIRC, it showed that Will Wright shoulders big part of the blame, as he rubber-stamped every change made into the game. Who knows what made him change his mind, though, since originally he was all for the complexity of real, or realistic-appearing genetics and evolution.
