Years from now? How many years from now? I don't expect it to be many years at all before they pull the rug out.

No matter what, they are all awfully small in relation to past games. :-/

They're less like the actual cities you could build in the past, more like slices of parts of cities, with all the room you're given to work with. They can get skyscrapers and become more dense with population, but it doesn't stop them from looking like someone scooped up part of a CBD and dumped it in an empty field.

I'm sure you are aware of this, but the resource/economy system in Ultima Online featured exactly that. If you wanted to make chairs all day long and sell them off to new homeowners for fun and profit, you could do so.

Dost thou want to play The Game with me?

Don't like the music? Refer to image.

lol nice.

Werd.

Obvs they wouldn't ban you for that, banning you over a refund request means less chances to get into your wallet again later down the line. That would be a Bad Business Model. Though it might depend on how the refund was requested, I guess. Seems like something they wouldn't be likely to do unless someone actively…

I'm confused by this. If you're talking about WoW they at least had the good idea to change the name and let you know that it's based on another property at the same time.

Have we forgotten what D'n'B is?

Looks about right...

As long as I can continue hiding every ad I see as soon as I see in my feed and report them as spam for no other reason than the satisfaction of doing so, I'll consider it an even trade until I can finally convince myself to just unplug from the whole damn thing already.

I think SimDiorama is an utterly appropriate name for it.

Maybe I might pick up SimDiorama when it's disgustingly cheap. Not a moment sooner, though...

How many copies did the game sell?

Probably has a lot to do with everyone being salty at the hijacking of a highly regarded property and it turning into glitzy flop slop held hostage at the whims of a server. Whether the box says it or not, we're 5 games deep into a series where 4 never required such a ridiculous requirement to be printed on the box.

As people like to keep telling me— this is the reboot, so rules of the past games no longer apply. Funny, I kind of like that argument now that I've found a way to turn it.
