Behind the Scenes If you want to know the origins and philosophy of the Sims universe, the current issue of the New Yorker (Nov. 6) has a profile of Will Wright, its designer. Lots of information about the hows and whys of Maxis, EA, SimsEverything, and a lot about the development and mode of Spore, which sounds absolutely great. And a little about the philosophy and meaning of growing up gaming.
