Wright has been proclaiming the virtue of open-ended gaming for 20 years. In SimCity, users were given some content and were told to come up with a direction for it to go. Now, he's giving us an interface and the framework of a game and telling us to come up with the content and the direction.
Who knows where this guy is going next. In an age when game companies are buying out competitors rather than making games innovative enough to win against them on the market, it's good to see that there's at least one guy like Wright that still has control of his own vision.
