Does EA Fear Spore will Fail?

5
This article over at Gameplayer looks into the strange release pattern Spore will take and asks whether EA may be worried about getting the broader audience to understand the game.

I hope it succeeds so EA will take greater creative risks in the future.

I see two other possible reasons for that:
1) to make more money by charging twice
2) because the creature creator is the only part truly finished so far

Well they put a lot of time and money into this game so it would be silly to not think they are hoping it'll sell and sell well. Kind of cool they are releasing a demo 2 months in advance. I kind of want to play the iPhone version. That demo was pretty neat from what I saw. Kind of like flOw but I'm sure there is more to it as well.

Well, they will get my money while finding out.

I think that so many people wondering if it will live up to the hype will purchase enough copies to make this thing a hit lol
