Will Wright is the veteran game designer who gave the world such classic titles as Sim City, Spore, and The Sims. Wright has moved on from the company he founded, Maxis (now a part of Electronic Arts), and has been working on new things at his small startup Stupid Fun Club. Wright gave a lecture at the University of California’s Santa Cruz campus recently, entitled "Gaming as a lens on the world." In the lecture, Wright spoke about the progress of game design. He feels the technology barriers are falling, and the more interesting problems left to solve are psychological ones; "That’s what we’re hacking," he said.
