How does a dev forget something so basic???

I'll add Sim City:
The core gameplay is building cities alone, preferably in an endless mode. The newest just scratches all that and limits the space and puts in some unneeded online features.

But the UI is just so damm good.... They're online stuff was meant to simulate a sort of global economy to make the game more interesting (and act as DLC but whatever), it just didn't really pan out that well.

I do think they made some money off the game AND learnt what people want. The next SimCity should hopefully have bigger cities and other improvements.

I think I am in a tiny minority in really enjoying the new game

But I do get surprised when something obvious is missed. They have loads of external testing to make sure that things aren't obviously wrong, but I guess it is hard to think of EVERYTHING

The one other thing to consider is that all that people want is what they already have. Nobody can ask for something that doesn't exist yet

I'm not saying the new simcity is bad.

I'm saying they completely left out a huge demographic (their previous fanbase)

There are literally, still threads today on /v/ about simcity 2000 and the one after it, I forget what it's called. Anyway, why make the cities so small? That's really the whole point. They could have ahd both, but decided to change it completely. For literally no reason. It could have been big cities with all the same multiplayer portions added on.

I think the multiplayer aspects are terrific....but at the cost of the map size? Man is that frustrating.
