SPORE DELAYED TO 09!

That's right folks, you heard it here first. Spore delayed to mid 2009 due to slipping EA profits. This latest news broke shortly after the semi-annual EA earnings conference. We will have to endure yet another delay again, and wait quite potentially, a year after we thought we were going to get the game.
GOTCHA!
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!
For those of you who can't handle it, TOO BAD ;)

wertyi33 - Apr 09, 2008 05:08 PM
that was way better then last time. bravo!
SporeLover55 - Apr 08, 2008 07:12 PM
thats not funny
Nerfherder - Apr 06, 2008 06:55 PM
It was 100% believable, it's happened so often.
horatiu665 - Apr 06, 2008 03:48 PM
@ Adamdude - if EA should be losing income or profit, they would release the game faster, for the people to buy it and for them to get profit. It doesn't make sense of what you say. Anyway, good one!! (:
dada222 - Apr 06, 2008 02:20 PM
hahaha...nice one
Reanamation - Apr 04, 2008 11:23 PM
HAHAHA! Best April Fools joke i've heard in a while.
OMGSPOREOMG - Apr 04, 2008 10:47 PM
lol this actualy got me for like 3 seconds :D by the way jomicg gtfa
Adamdude - Apr 04, 2008 10:37 PM
Hey dude........ u cant read cause this post was put on april 1st wich was april fuels day...... pitiful
Masterman619 - Apr 04, 2008 09:58 PM
lol, you are supposed to say it was an april fools joke on april 2nd.
yetishi - Apr 04, 2008 07:30 PM
oh yeah, jomigc, it would just be lovely if Maxis delayed Spore for real because of an April Fools Day joke. are you serious? come on man.
Adamdude - Apr 04, 2008 06:43 PM
jomigc; i just wanted to tell u that this was no insulting Spore. U need to have a sence of humor. also i think that if EA would get a major loss of income or profit theY might do that. they are not making fun of Spore, Maxis, or Ea (from my prospective). u cant go around falsley acusing people and sites like that. The people on the site probley work as hard as hell also and they need to get a chuckle ever now and then. Dude u need to chill out....
plumber leyland - Apr 04, 2008 06:36 PM
OMG MatchML is like some sort of genious!! He's right, we are all idiots for falling for the light hearted joke... we sould bow down and praise him for being so cool.
yetishi - Apr 04, 2008 10:04 AM
YOU B@#$%^&*!!!!!! Oh, no wait...never mind. Seriously though, this actually got me.
MatchNL - Apr 04, 2008 09:13 AM
If you seriously even started to fall for this joke, then you're an idiot. I knew this would be this site's April Fools joke since in February. Humor doesn't work when it's predictable.
jomigc - Apr 04, 2008 01:10 AM
hopefully one of the Maxis staff sees this and then they delay Spore on purpose or at least stop from sending Spore info to xSpore because they see Mr. xToothache making fun of their game. If i was from Maxis and i see this, I'd be very insulted because bitches like Mr. xHeadache is making fun of a game that they are working so hard on.
Adamdude - Apr 03, 2008 09:32 PM
Yay! this is my first comment! i luv xspore and i check it every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant wait for spore. also this was a funny yet angering April folls joke!
