Spore shouldn't really be included in any argument for EA, since the Maxis developers basically operate separate from EA as much as they're allowed to...I'm guessing Will Wright would not consider himself an "EA man."

True, but that's kinda the point: the "new" EA is much more hands-off than it used to be. Hell, I can't think of too many times they've interfered with their "client developers" recently. I'm, not saying they don't happen: I am saying they happen less than they used to, less even than many other third-parties.
