Uh uh uh: Can’t touch this - Stealing Spore GA missions Sporedum tipped off on an interesting note that may have Spore fans relaxing.* If you are a popular Spore creator and upload your content to the Sporepedia, chances are at one time you had your content stolen.* It’s a problem for many of the great Spore artists.* It’s to believe that the newest expansion would open up a bigger can of worm with the stealing of missions.* After all, it would be a pain if you spent weeks working on a mission, uploading it and then having someone come along tweaking 1 little thing and re-uploading them as their own. Well, Maxis isn’t putting a stop to that BUT they do have an interesting trick up their sleeve.* According to MaxisCactus in the following thread, she states that they will settle this by listing the original author as well as the author who last modified the content.* That way, everyone will know where the original idea started from: You guys have some pretty good ideas about this that will be passed along to the team. In the mean time, I want to let you know that the large card for every mission will include both the original author, and the most recent author (if applicable). That way, everyone knows who the originator was. Speaking of lineage records, we also plan to release a fix for the lineage bug, that occasionally causes a parent to not show up for creations, soon. This has been linked to some creations inadvertently being featured without actually being original. -MC
