EA shuts down Maxis Emeryville(Spore/SimCity). Other branches staying open (.... for now)

[episteme]

That's sad, Sim City 2000 was one of the first games that I played on a PC, but I didn't play the ones after Sim City 4.

Seems like all EA owned franchises that I liked as a kid are dead now.

 

EDIT: it only seems to be Maxis Emeryville (Sim City, Spore), not the ones that make The Sims.
