The Guardian has posted an article about Will Wright (44), in which you're taken back to his youth as well as the present. They say The Sims 2 will set the crown on Will's career. "Such fortune barely seemed likely for a small town boy growing up in Georgia." As some might know, Wright skipped through 3 universities in 5 years, but never graduated. At the age of 22, Will made his first game on the Commodore 64, followed by SimCity in 1989. The doll-house concept, later renamed to the Sims, originated a bit from when in 1991 the house of the Wright family burnt down, and they had to start all over again. Of course the article also tells a bit about Will's other hobby: robotics. Peter Molyneux (the brain behind games like Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White and more) is also quoted. He says that the Sims shows what a genius Will is - and that the game showed the gaming industry not to focus only on violence, murder, etc., but also on the everyday life and the American Dream.
