Great job on the last two games, EA.

Shame, I really enjoyed Sim City 4 and The Sims 2.

Hopeful someone makes competing series as lately EAs handling of them has been terrible.

Check out "Cities Skylines" by Colossal Order! Release will be next week.

@Topic: Meh. I won't buy any EA products anyway. Just let them buy and ruin even more traditional studios. We can't do anything against it anyway.

The more time that passes, the more I fear these EA comics are based on reality. The part of Maxis that was shut down did (Spore/SimCity) The Sims segment is still around.
