Does Will Wright still have any input on The Sims?

This is the last interview I saw with him. I can't remember what he said about imput. I think he leaves it alone now! He's developing Proxi and that's not out yet.

I don't think he's been involved with the Sims series since the original. There were references to him in TS2 (the Wright-shaped head), but he had gotten deeply involved with Spore at that point.

He was heavily involved in the development of The Sims 1, you know since it was his idea and game. During the Sims 2 development he was mainly working on Spore, overlooking the Sims 2 team and giving advice but didn't develop or direct the development of the game. There were massive issues with the development of Spore and with EA wanting to market it in a way that didn't follow Wright's ideas and he was really upset over it.
He started working on new projects on his own around 2008 and left not only Maxis but EA and the mainstream industry as a whole. He never worked on any other EA project again after this and he has gone underground since then.
He is now working on a small project called "proxi".
He has absolutely no input in the game since he left the company and was not involved at all in either The Sims 3 or The Sims 4, which is sad because they are techically his games and Maxis was his company along with another colleague.

He's like most inventors, on to the next thing and leave the past ones for others to work on. He's more interested in the ideas.

It looks as if he's having more problems with Proxi, as he was hinting at it coming out in the Fall of 2019 in that interview. He's so far ahead of his time in thinking of new things it might be impossible to go through with it at the moment without huge backing.

I hope the US government doesn't find it as he was talking about that episode (film)? of Star Trek with people living complete lives, then coming back to their present one to find it was all false. Was that the Ribbon and Bridge one? Implanting false memories? That's what the Lensmen in the E E Smith "Lensman" series did with some of their baddies.

I still think it's kind of shitty that they didn't give him a special thanks in the credits of the game, or mention him at all...

Totally agree. Maybe they are a bit ashamed of what they've done to it?

He has no input in the game. Why would they give him credit? ??

@PlayerSinger2010 'Cause he invented the Sims? And the game is called Sims?

I wonder what he thinks of the sims 4

But he hasn't had any input in the game since the original.

It's like fanfiction: You don't have to credit the author if you're writing a Game of Thrones or Harry Potter fic. Everyone knows who created it.
