The top game designer in the United States — maybe the world — has left one of the biggest publishers in the industry. And he’s already got a new job.

Will Wright, famous designer of “Sim City,” “The Sims,” and “Spore” is leaving Electronic Arts, his publisher announced today. Wright will be running the Stupid Fun Club, an organization he started in 2001 with EA and had used for robot experiments, TV pilots and other offbeat ideas for years.

Wright had been part of EA since the publisher bought Maxis, the studio where Wright made “Sim City” in 1997.

Wow. That's pretty ing huge.

So basically The Sims 2 will be the last one he made, and everyone after that will be pure EA trash. I don't know a female that I know in real life that DOESN'T like The Sims.

Hard to argue with the impact the guy has had on the industry over the years. Sim City was my first love as a player of computer games, and like many I harbor a secret love for the Sims.

Spore sucked.
