Reading through today's notes regarding the latest "Spore" patch, I thought the most interesting change was the introduction of cube-shaped planets.
Then I reached the last line.
An Achievement that had rewarded gamers who had created problematic content has been removed from the game. This Achievement, called "Bad Baby," had been given to people who were sharing content that was offensive enough to get them banned. (A "Spore" wiki explains it.)
Let that one sink in. An Achievement for violating the rules of content-sharing. When's the last time you heard of a game rewarding players for bannable behavior?
Well, they're not doing it any more.
