Besides the fact that this is a revolutionary game as far as concept goes, it is also supposed to revolutionize game design and cost. There will be worlds and worlds and worlds, and we will be the designers, for free, and happy as clams to do it!
On another note, it seems to me that 'The Sims' got away from the 'Sim City' drama of success vs. crime and rich vs. poor and how they played off each other. 'The Sims' was really about cooking and talking and shopping for stuff, and the drama was about whether or not your baby would be confiscated or about not wetting your pants.
'Spore' looks to give us back the coin purse we lost with 'The Sims', albeit in a cartoonish family friendly way. That's good enough for me!
