Whatever happened to "the customer is always right"?
We recognize that there are fans – people who love the original SimCity – who want that. But we're also hearing from thousands of people who are playing across regions, trading, communicating and loving the Always-Connected functionality.
Whatever she wants him to say
yeah, give it a sec, she just finished an interview. give her time to get back to her trunk so she can get her hand back up his ass and Jeff Dunham this shit
I hope those thousands of people each paid 400 bucks for the game otherwise Lucy and all the rest of her Maxis-EA cronnies are getting shitcanned.
What a cluster. Map size alone is enough to make me call a complete foul on the entire experience. SimCity's endgame is always the perfect balancing act required of a player to manage a millions strong population city without is rocking off the cliff of crime and fires and godzillas and shit. I can't imagine ever getting my money's worth out of building what would constitute a fucking hotel + gas station in Simcity4 and calling it my "city".
What a joke. Feels like whoever designed this failure is a hopelessly out of touch older game designer who went into their first design meeting and said "So ... facebook right? Kids love the facebook and the myspaces and stuff? so lets make SimCity like a big facebookspaces thing! These idiots will Eat. It. Up!"
Then they all did basaebal bat sized rails off their crushed ivory meeting table started blowing each other.
This seems like it would only really be a huge advantage if you went to a different job each morning and back to a different home each night.
Is that how they think people live or something?

Will Wright approves of this simcity, at least he said as much during the livestream interview.I miss Will Wright (despite Spore being disappointing).
Why do i feel like the original target platform for this was facebook?

I'm not up to date on this, but is Will Wright still with EA? Or is he retired?
He left a long time ago to do his own thing. (Stupid Fun Club)I'm not up to date on this, but is Will Wright still with EA? Or is he retired?
He retired. I forget which 9 months... before the announcement or the launch.

Hey, you can create million+ size populations in SimCity 2013! Just stick a bunch of high-density residential in a grid, throw in some basic services, and lower the fuck out of taxes!
(all the Sims are happy, the criminals can't create serious crime since there's no commercial or industrial, city is profitable, nobody has a job, tax money is coming from thin air, there's no other cities in the region)
Except those numbers are fluffed and you're probably looking at 250k tops.
I'd love to hear Rod Humble's real opinion of it, I can't imagine the game would be as it is if he was still reigning over there.Will Wright approves of this simcity, at least he said as much during the livestream interview.

It definitely feels like they're trying to capture the "SimCity Social" crowd.Why do i feel like the original target platform for this was facebook?
So, could we have built a subset offline mode? Yes. But we rejected that idea because it didnt fit with our vision.
She's right, I'm being disturbed playing a S game but it isn't Sim City. Blizzard knows how to launch something correctly, perhaps EA/Maxis should take notes?
