I’m starting to think this anti-Spore site is merely a prank. It’s worded too perfectly to be On The Real™.
Right, so even though Spore has been favorably reviewed (despite the DRM uproar), a pious Christian is taking the game to task for promoting “biggest attack on Christian values to date.” Ok, terrific!
The site, faithfully titled Anti-Spore, slams Will Wright, Electronic Arts and its employees for creating a game that promotes evolution (as opposed to creationism). As such, it must be outlawed, destroyed, etc etc.
But again, I think this site is fake. Read this:
However, I have received many comments saying that the game is more like intelligent design than evolution and I must say I very much disagree after using Craigslist to find someone who would allow me to watch how the game is played.
Now tell me that doesn’t read like some smartass wind-up merchant wrote it.
But oh God—am I allowed to say “Oh, God”?—you need to read he comments.
Great site, really. Job well done.
I wasn’t going to buy Spore. I like games more like Call of Duty 4, Assassin’s Creed and Quake Online.
But now I’m thinking about buying it. I mean, being an evil, demonic person who believes evolution is real, I’m not really in control of my decisions, am I? So who am I to fight it? I’m being controlled by the Hand of Darwinˇ to do his evil bidding. None of us have free will. We all must buy Spore!
