Thats basically the crux of the issue you want to bring up. TM boards are comming from ceasar and other city building games. SC4 has a big community here, but lets face it, on the whole for video game market, you guys are small fries. Sure, you are still important, and you shouldn't think I am belitting your site, efforts, or creations, its just that theres not enough of you to make a SC5 the way you want it profittably.quote> If realistic management simulators are only for the small fries, not enough, as you say, to create SC5 as a huge improvement for the SC4 community, why are other very realistic and complicated simulators as SI Football Manager (at least in Europe) very succesful? Was SC4 not profitable enough? I don't believe that.

Originally posted by: calvinhsv This community is too absurdly critical and rude concerning this game.quote> There is i.m.o. a valid reason for.

I want SimCity 5, not another game with the name SimCity. SimCity was in fact not a game, it was a city SIMulator. and was looking forward to interesting gameplay discussion and modding options. As it stands, however, your best bet is to go to the tilted mill forums where there are already new mods available. Theres also alot less negativity there. Avoid, however, the EA site since its populated by the same REPEATED posts of complaints (perhaps by the same people). It has been a sad realization to me that this will not be the community for this game that, while not what everyone expected, is still not a bad game.quote> I don't want a unrealistic city game bad nor good to succeed SimCity 4. I want a new realistic SimCity, SIM stands for simulator. SimCity Societies don't deserve the name SimCity, it's just a game, not a simulator. EA, rename that game in "GameCity Societies" and give SimCity back to the people who wish to buy a new improved City Simulator.

Yes I am very dissapointed in the newest Simcity version. I am afraid that Simcity is offered forever to the kind of game players who like shallowness and don't care about realism. What the heck is wrong with a realistic city building and deep going city management simulator? Why was last year the Simcity community made happy with messages and announcements that Simcity 5 was in the pipeline? EA is the juridic owner of the name Simcity, but that doesn't mean that it is fair to snatch Simcity from the faithful and loyal Simcity conmmunity to serve another kind of game players. The English have a nice proverb, what EA has done have nothing to do with playing cricket. I have let EA know my opinion about this matter, I sent the following e-mail to their piracy-online mailbox. ** The most disappointing piracy happend this year is done by EA self. Snatching Simcity away from the faithful Simcity community, who made that game also during the last 10-15 years by paying and playing and modding etc. because they like to play with a *real* city *simulator*... that is also piracy. Simecity is morral also owned by the huge faithful Simcity player community and they feel in large majority that EA has robbed their Simcity away. Not bringing out the real Simcity 5 developed by Maxis, but a city societies game under the name Simcity, that is not different from devastating a renowned city building and management simulator. Shame you EA! you deserve the outcry from the Simcity community and the many low rated reviews for the newest so named Simcity version. **
