Will Wright has left EA

MTV Multiplayer reports that Will Wright, possibly the most famous game developer of all time, has left EA as of today. Wright, creator of Sim City, The Sims, and more recently Spore, will be focusing instead on his project the ‘Stupid Fun Club’, a company that is owned by himself, EA, and another mystery shareholder. “Stupid Fun Club will explore new possibilities”, Wright said, adding that the company will “create new forms of entertainment on a variety of platforms.” Despite leaving the company, EA gets first dibs on Wright’s new gaming projects.

    So… he’s focusing on a project owned by himself and EA, and EA has first dibs on his new projects, in what sense exactly has he /left/ EA?

    Reading the headline I was thinking of “left” in the way you might “leave” a person by route of dumping them, or through a violent breakup…
