Stupid Fun Club: Will Wright Leaves Maxis

Will Wright has left EA to start up an "entertainment think tank" that EA is investing in. It's called Stupid Fun Club. “The entertainment industry is moving rapidly into an era of revolutionary change,” said Will Wright. “Stupid Fun Club will explore new possibilities that are emerging from this sublime chaos and create new forms of entertainment on a variety of platforms.” EA will get the right to develop any game concepts produced by the think tank. Full press blurb below.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS - News) announced today that EA is making an equity investment in Stupid Fun Club, Will Wright’s new adventure. Stupid Fun Club is an entertainment think tank developing new Intellectual Properties to be deployed across multiple fronts including video games, movies, television, the internet, and toys. Will Wright is leaving EA to run Stupid Fun Club.

EA and Will each own equal percentages of Stupid Fun Club and are the principal shareholders. In addition, EA has the right to develop game concepts that spring from Stupid Fun Club projects. Will Wright is represented by Creative Artists Agency.

“The entertainment industry is moving rapidly into an era of revolutionary change,” said Will Wright. “Stupid Fun Club will explore new possibilities that are emerging from this sublime chaos and create new forms of entertainment on a variety of platforms. In my twelve years at EA, I’ve had the pleasure to work alongside some of the brightest and most talented game developers in the industry and I look forward to working with them again in the near future.”

“We believe in Will’s vision for Stupid Fun Club and we’re looking forward to partnering with Will and his team long into the future,” said John Riccitiello, EA’s Chief Executive Officer. “Will is a great designer and he’s been part of a great legacy of globally recognized game franchises like The Sims, SimCity and Spore. The teams that have been leading those franchises in recent years have a lot of exciting content coming.”

“Will has been an inspiration to our teams, and it’s been rewarding for us to bring his ideas to life,” said Lucy Bradshaw, VP and General Manager at Maxis. “In addition to legendary games, Will’s legacy at EA will be the many talented people who worked with him and will now continue to contribute their own vision to the art of game development.”

Will Wright created Maxis with Jeff Braun in 1989, which was acquired by EA in 1997. Will is the visionary designer of blockbuster game concepts like Spore™, The Sims™ and SimCity™. Lucy Bradshaw, VP and General Manager at Maxis™, will continue to run Maxis and the Spore franchise. Lucy’s team is working on the upcoming expansion pack, Spore Galactic Adventures, as well as other game concepts including Spore Hero, Spore Hero Arena and Spore Creature Keeper.

sometimes i sit down and think. it 2017 really gave ben mike's personality and narrative function and people think its canon. mike my poor boy i love you so so much im sorry the movies stripped you of personality and charm

#and its because he's black. #i think about it every day. #it fans read the book challenge. i dont know how stephen king did a better job in 1986 than the movies did in 2017 but genuinely the losers #they are so much more interesting and fun in the book. and richie and bev are literally canonically best friends #and mike is a person.......with lines.......and actions....that he takes #and his parents are dead drug addicts. i still dont know why they did that in movie its so stupid #the losers club #it stephen king #it 2017

[rawliverandgoronspice]

genuinely bewildered at how it's just g@merg@te again. like it's just exactly the same strategy, except now it's a cabal of dark and sinister narrative designers instead of "there are women near my games" but it's like the same fucking thing and I'm so tired honestly

#thoughts #as a dark and sinister narrative designer I wish I was part of the secret club that apparently finance every game with a diverse cast #when I tried to fund my very queer game with a black lead I got told by a room full of 50 white men that “nobody wanted this” #in spite of our market analysis screaming otherwise #and then was ridiculed in front of my men colleagues and told I couldn't be trusted because I would spontaneously give birth #and forget all my dreams instantly #or I was considered the “fun girl” who was only there to present the game (it was MY game!!!) #and for every serious conversation they went to my male colleague behind my back #so yeah I want in on that sweet diversity money pleaaaase #without having to debase myself to get it #this is so fucking stupid #(and like there are things to be said about the handling of DEI in corporate settings) #(I had almost nothing but bad interactions with such structures personally) #(but it was because it was a tool turned *against* minorities to speak over them and police their self-expression most of the time) #(for the sake of corporate interests or to protect the feelings of whoever was in position of power) #(so I think there are conversations to be had and it's actually a pretty complicated subject that can get VERY VERY messy) #(but yeah this aint it gamers)

the losers club as pretentious dance convention kids cause i just went to my last dance convention (at least with my studio, i am sure i will go to another one) (still :(((()

౨ৎbill is one of those stupid good contemporary dancers. always wearing baggy clothes, only ever dances in socks. he is friends with the ground to the point where like gravity does not pertain to him. weird contemporary solos but. not so far that hes straight up dancing to a recording of a person talking

౨ৎeddie is 100% a ballet dancer. his technique is to die for although he struggles to emote. what sucks is that he isnt your stereotypical male ballet dancer - his leaps are average height, hes flexible and has gorgeous lines, he despises pas de deux...the works. this however is a great combination for a convention dancer !

౨ৎstan pretends to be a ballet dancer...he is lying he is that kid who traveled around with a convention every weekend and is super versatile and performative but in that specific way that you can tell hes a convention kid. really his strength is weird contemporary, not the slide-y rolling around on the ground stuff like bill, the weird stuff. the you-are-a-bird, you-just-got-electrocuted-and-all-your-movement-is-intiated-from-your-neck (directly inspired by two combinations i learned this season) stuff. freak

౨ৎben is a lyrical dancer cmon! ben is so a lyrical dancer. he is the male lead in all of his studios intense sad romantic lyrical pieces cmonnnnnhhihjbnk babe can perform! he gets uncomfortable with the weird shit that stan likes; he doesnt love jazz or hip hop but like. hes good at it hes just not confident enough to fully sell it

౨ৎbev is a jazz girl, definitely gets into commercial work when she starts dancing professionally. she is most comfortable with commercial jazz funk, as opposed to the energetic triplette-little-kid-doing-molly-long-choreo-where-they-keep-doing-one-leg-over-and-over-again. she thinks the camera is fun, and the camera man loves her.

౨ৎi am going against my better judgement and making richie a hip hop dancer ik i am sorry i try to make richie as uncool as possible but. hes a hip hop dancer :/ annoyingly good musicality and movement quality. also just has fun; there is no way he takes it as seriously as like. eddie. his movement style also lends itself well to contemporary even though hes not super technical. figured out he could hold a handstand and is now on his hands whenever possible,,, deliberately changes the combo so he can do a little twirl on his hands

౨ৎmikey is a tapper! i love tap as a style but convention tap is either good or just complete dogshit because so many people skip the classes because they dont tap at their home studio. i know his tap shoes are cool asf definitely fun colored. is the perfect mix of style and performance and also technical tap ability. he can do the other stuff dont get me wrong but he always pulls through with a banger tap solo

#idk this is probably stupid #have a fun little au post #the losers club #bill denbrough #eddie kaspbrak #stan uris #ben hanscom #beverly marsh #richie tozier #mike hanlon #it 2017 #this au would work so much better if they were girls #male dancers are great i just. it would work better

Arranged marriage au with asmo

I need asmo to be in some type of royal otome slowburn manhwa

ramblings ramblings

the drama guys....the DRAMA! dont tell me a bunch of nonsense wouldnt happen

remember the post where i was like indifferent/passive aggressive asmo becoming curious about the MC fics are peak

similar thing is happening here! honestly i think theres some resentment coming from asmos side at first but mc is like ay....you do ur thing and i do mine

im not gonna make u do anything u dont want, i dont have any expectations from this arrangement. lets just try not to make each of our lives hell u know

lol i bet when asmo first meets MC after finding out that hes supposed to marry them he's like thinking "......ig theyre not that bad looking"😒 (he literally would have been flirting with them in any other circumstance)

hmmm mc needs to be apart of a pretty influential family i think since this is gonna be a political type marriage

and asmo,,,,i feel like he doesnt really engage in the specifics when it comes to politics or anything. it's just not something thats important to him. he has his side hobbies and business endeavors that cares about. But topics outside of those things are left up to his family

so perhaps one day, the head of the family (i wanna say lucifer but since i want the person in this role to give off more a mysterious vibe, where his word is final michael might be a better choice) is like... this specific family...theyre kinda important and we want them on our side so get married to their eldest who has rejected every other person ever but has agreed to marry and since u dont do much when it comes to political affairs im gonna have you do this whether you want to or not

and asmo is just like....HUH he tries to get lucifer to help him out here but lucifers like...yea dads not budging sorry lil bro (he doesnt say it like that but similar sentiment lmao)

now mc never really wanted to get married cause they didnt wanna have to go through the motions against their will and they like their life as is but their parents have been breathing down their neck about marriage for years now. And now that this BIG opportunity has present itself to their parents, it feels like the pressure is really on now! at first mc is like shit...idk if i can weasel my way outta this one

and then......they realized that maybe this could probably work out in their favor actually.....

mc agreed to married him cause asmo has a bit of a reputation as a partier and a playboy

with asmo they feel like things can stay as they are for the most part if they let him continue to do as he pleases (not like they could have stopped him if they wanted to lol)

everything can be the same, they can still live their own separate lives, just now they have the title of spouses!

and thats the plan, like i said before asmo comes in being a bit rude at first but it kinda changes to indifference and a little passive aggressiveness once MC is like...yo chill im not gonna shit on ur parade. i just wanna be left to my own things. you do you sir

yes thats the plan...thats supposed to be the plan and it was going as mc expected for a good while

but as we know if u put something or someone in front of asmo enough times hes gonna get curious

#im an AU girlie til the end #thats all ill ever be #this isnt even the drama part #i wanna say like several things happen #cause its not clear in my head #i just know theres potential for stupid shit happening cause asmo is doing the same shit he was doing before he got married #like sure its not a love type of marriage but it definitely doesnt look great #mcs parents probably arent gonna be thrilled when rumors start spreading #and then theres also the fact that #if these rumors are spreading then some ppl will be like #so....i can be mcs sidepiece possibly??? #omg sidepieces getting jealous and trying to start shit is on the table #dont even get me started on when asmo starts caring about MC #hes like at the “club” #and hes like....hmmm this isnt as fun as i was expecting it to be #he doesnt even know why #probably heads over to MCs #and mc is like...wth im trying to go to bed why r u here???? #i think they should live separately #i think its an option but im not sure #maybe they stay in the same home idkkk #anyways yea!!! #thats all i got rn #and maybe forever #i usually get a burst of ideas like this type it out and then forget about them lol #obey me asmodeus #obey me asmodeus x mc #obey me asmodeus x reader #prime reader insert material right here #if i was at my peak of writing this would have been asmo's datura i think

I really like The Junior Science Club because its the audio equivalent of a middle school teacher trying to teach you something but the teacher (Logan) keeps getting off topic and regaling insane anecdotes so all the class walks out not having learned anything but very happy nonetheless

#his music is not FOR kids but it has that kind of childlike sincerity i really admire from it #also the spoken word parts where he puts on voices as if doing a radio show #he knew his song premises voices etc were stupid #but he still had fun with his casio accordion and 4-track. For The Hell Of It #logan whitehurst and the junior science club #logan whitehurst

ive gotten to the point where there are no shots left from which to copy when it comes to the lu.cifer penthouse/club build so im just going ham making shit up for any room i think should be there but isnt. the club has a little staff only kitchen and dressing rooms for the dancers and bathrooms and a tiny parking garage which i did the way i wanted to do it bc the lot i chose isnt big enough for that shit and cars arent real in s.ims 4 anyway. i took a tiny toy van and scaled it up to actual van size so i could pretend it's making a delivery to the club

#im about to build lu.cifer's unseen PERSONAL kitchen which is going to be stupid huge and he's GOING to have an ice cream maker #because why would he not have an ice cream maker #im gonna have fun trying to build all the skills for s.im lu.cifer that lu.cifer would have #club guests will be getting so much free food while i try to make him a good cook #harper has spoken #harper's playing s.ims 4 #r: lovingly indulgent #i hope that live-in business mod works lsdkfj i'd hate to have that bottom floor empty

Dont fancy changing anyone's mind.

Just baffled at how 600 people can find it funny when someone who is struggling with trauma, guilt, and suicide thoughts is blamed, harassed, and bullied. Especially in a fandom of a show that addresses trauma and abuse. But hey, the author herself intended so, so I guess it's really just me 🤷‍♀️

So glad that whole arc was cut in the anime.

#classmates bullying Kisa is a abuse #people calling Haru stupid is abuse #Yuki fan club gatekeeping who has access to Yuki is abuse #but apparently when it's kyo it's just a lot of fun #there's something very wrong in the humor of this show #especially considering the Cat’s role in the story #(apparently) unpopular opinion #but as Kyo said who cares about being popular #fruits basket manga #fruits basket #furuba #kyo sohma #manga #hospital arc

Wow. It really has been a while, hasn't it? Gale, awash in the strobing of wild colors, is at least an ocean and half beyond his depth. It's been a year since his breakup, a wholesale sundering with a taste for ruin, and for one reason or another, Jenevelle's been over it. You're going out, she had told him. And presentably, Gale. Now, he's here in the belly of a sweltering club, the crooning of The Cure blaring all about them. He's caught in herringbone trousers, his 'beard of isolation', and he sighs, nursing his whisky of a strange red color. It goes with the greys in his hair. He turns about. "Rather gloomy here, isn't it? I hardly mean the decor, mind you." Gah. Gale whirls his tumbler, charm abysmally dashed. "Their choice in themed beverages is just a tad bit wanting."

OPEN.

#OPEN. #MODERN VERSE. #Yeah. That's right. A fun stupid little modern verse thread with Gale being forced back into society by (looks at wrist watch) #Shadowheart because I SAID so. #Yeah so anyway (strums guitar) goth club.
