Ok I was writing somethign in another thread and it popped into my mind, why the f*** has spore been delayed SOOOO long.

The first "official" release date was September 2006 and it's now January 2008, what made a game so close to being release, be delayed 17 months? If they said it as going to be released in September then it was nearly "done" why delay?

Reason it's not.

1. they have not spent the time taking flying/water creatures out, because even I know how to remove something from a game, and it dose not take 17 months,

2. EA want to add to hype, yeah I know EA might have been doing this to begin with but I know, like many publishers, that the longer a game is in development the more it will cost, and I they would of released it by now.

3. Because EA are evil,

So I was just wondering what do you guys think caused the delays.
