Considering how Spore went from a massive concept to a massive and beautifully-rendered concept in like six months, I'm not too concerned about it never getting finished; if anything, all this jazz about procedurally-generated content and constant downloading of everyone else's user-generated stuff to populate the game universe makes me think that it'd be a disaster if it was released this year. Wasn't The Sims delayed a bunch of times, too? And now it's one of the most ridiculously super-selling franchises ever. They'll do OK.
Well, your prediction about Spore ending up a disaster regarding upload/download of user created content ended up being true...
Sorry... new poster here... have owned Aquaria since March 2008. Spore is actually why I'm here. Spore is dull, and it's a mess. Dug up Aquaria for something entertaining to play instead.
...Then realized I'd never joined the forum. Still lurking around for instructions on the patch, and latest news of Aquaria, and want to drop my compliments on the game for being pleasant, relaxing, and entertaining. It's obvious you guys put a lot of love into the game.

*returns to lurking*
