Lets remove the spin: Spore will launch for the Mac at the same time as PC? Why? Ease of development with TransGaming’s Cider Portability Engine? Nope our guess is EA fears a flop and wants to sell as many copies as possible at release. Release date still being “sometime this year”.
For a game that has been under development since 2000 this is not promising.
It looks like the stock price is getting out of control again. The stock is reaching some resistance near 550 but well off the lows at 475. This stock is way overvalued anywhere over 5 million copies.
"Will Wright's Spore is not only coming this year, but it's going to be released on Macs in conjunction with the PC version - making Apple fans very happy no doubt."
Umm....did you guys not notice what Dave said? Fiscal 09 is in april, so really, it didn't get pushed back at all. The rumor is April 3 I think, and this announcement is basically "confirming it". When you post these things, make sure you understand all of what your posting.

@Just_Ben, I had the sense this is more of a strategy game. SimCity is another simulation game, but it doesn't appeal to women the way the Sims does. My understanding is Spore combines gameplay from Civilization and Master of Orion, titles that definitely do not appeal to women.
