Electronic Arts reaffirmed that it will be releasing Will Wright's Spore sometime in the early fiscal 2009 timeframe, but added that the game won't release before it's absolutely finished. CEO John Riccitiello said [or perhaps bragged?] during a conference call Wednesday that both him and EA Games president Frank Gibeau are both playing Will Wright's hotly anticipated Spore and are "enjoying it a great deal."
