Will Wright leaving EA to join Stupid Fun Club
Videogame publisher Electronic Arts has revealed that game designer Will Wright is leaving the company to join run “Stupid Fun Club”.
Stupid Fan Club is essentially a group that design properties for use in videogames, movies and toys.
EA added that they would be making an investment in this group but no more details were revealed.
Wright is one of the most high profile game designers in the world. His resume includes high profile game titles like “The Sims,” “SimCity” and “Spore”.
Wright spoke on his decision to leave EA: “The entertainment industry is moving rapidly into an era of revolutionary change. Stupid Fun Club will explore new possibilities that are emerging from this sublime chaos and create new forms of entertainment on a variety of platforms. In my twelve years at EA, I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside some of the brightest and most talented game developers in the industry and I look forward to working with them again in the near future.”
EA had this to say: “Will is a great designer and he’s been part of a great legacy of globally recognized game franchises.”
Market analysts believe that this is a disaster development for EA which has been struggling with poor response to their recent games.
