Spore would have been an amazing game if it was like the early demos and not transformed into some weird kid thing.

The game was never like the early demos. If a demo isn't playable by the public then don't assume it was ever actually a playable game in that state. And to be fair, even if it was I'm not really convinced it would've been fun.

Spore was fun until you get the last stage then it became tedious.

It was fun but if you ever saw the original stuff they demonstrated you can see it’s a very different and simplified kids version of what it was
