The Sims creator blew 10 years and millions of dollars on his new game, laid off his whole team in 2024, and still isn't done: "I'd much rather have a glorious failure than a mild success"
Will Wright, the creator of The Sims, has spent a decade and millions of dollars developing his new AI-enabled game, Proxi: Yesterday's You Tomorrow, through his studio Gallium Studios. Despite laying off his entire team in 2024 due to funding issues, Wright is determined to see the ambitious project through, even if it means a potential failure. The game aims to allow players to experience and share memories through AI-powered simulacra called Proxies.
