Dear Maxis I've been a fan of your games since I started Primary School, I'm now 23. I've owned every true Simcity game, Sim Earth, Farm, Ant, Copter, Tower and loved the (at least attempt ) at capturing realism and attempting to be a simulation. The Sims games, Simcity Societies and Spore took things in a simplified (Dumbed Down) direction that I really believe alienated your original player base. This is not only something that occurred with the Sim games, other big games have gone the dumbing down route in a (failed) attempt at more sales (ie Civ V) in place of creating a game with longevity and replayability (ie compare the Simcity 4 community that still creates mods today and still plays countless hours to Societies, or again with Civ; Civ 4 compared to Civ V, This AoE online crap compared to AoE II). Will this be another dumbed down Sim game like you keep insulting your lifelong fans with or are you going to create a true Simulation game? Is this going to be another cartoon looking kids game, because the clips I've seen and the interviews I've read suggest it will be. If it is I know it's the nail in the coffin and that Will Wright truly sold you guys out.
