(2009-04-10) Wright Leaving Ea

Will Wright is leaving EA to pursue new projects at Stupid Fun Club, a creative side gig (Side Project) Wright actually started back in 2001, centering around his interest in Robot-s. Now, Stupid Fun Club has evolved into a full fledged entertainment think tank focused on developing new IP to deploy across not just video games, but also movies, television, the Internet and even toys. EA has invested in Stupid Fun Club and will own an equal share in the company. The publisher will also have first refusal rights on all Video Game projects.

Apr22 update: he still has a consulting deal with EA to work on Spore improvements.
