I know that I cannot be the only person who feels this way, so I am going to express my concerns over the current state of SimCity (2013) discussion. This has gone on long enough. Since approximately a year ago, we Simtropolites have been given news about the new SimCity, and members have expressed their concerns regarding the game. There is nothing wrong with this; everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but now that the game has been released, haven't they been expressed enough? The same concerns have been repeatedly stated hundreds of times throughout the months in many topics and posts. Topics echo the same complaints from different people: DRM, Tile size, graphics, etc. Over time, these complaints have escalated into arguments, in which people have resorted to name-calling and insults, even insulting SimCity supporters' intelligence. "Anyone who like SimVilleTownSims is a traitor! Ban them all! Go SC4!" Of course, that's an exaggeration, and not all members act that way, but I feel it accurately summarizes how some people have acted. In addition, topics remotely related to SimCIty have been hijacked to complain and rant about the game, resulting in the topic having to be locked by a moderator or admin. This leads me to my next point: the admins and mods are often having to delete or edit posts and close topics because of how members have acted. For all the site staff does for us, we give them more work to do. I think it's time we all have a good long look at the Finally, there is no productivity to repeating complaints and arguments. The game has already been released, and if you hate it, there is not much you can do about it. EA is the third-largest game company by revenue (Wikipedia), and complaining about SimCity, no matter how much, is probably not going to do much. Honestly, they have showed no indication of listening; what makes you think they will now? It is highly unlikely that any of the major (and most disliked) aspects of the game will be changed. In closing, if you dislike the game, that's fine; you have all the reason to dislike, and you are entitled to your own opinions, but express them politely, if you feel they have not been expressed already in the thousands of posts and hundreds of topics in this forum. Do not hijack threads just to rant about everything you despise about EA and SimCity. Be nice to others, even if you disagree with them. Let's stop arguing and the repeated complaining, and have productive and positive discussion; all we're doing now is beating a dead horse. What is the point? I would expect this behavior from comments anywhere else, but not Simtropolis. I have been on this website for only a year or so, but from what I have experienced, it is a great website run by hard-working people who are devoted to the SimCity series, with overall kind, helpful members. I, and I'm sure many others, do not want to see discussion degrade into petty arguments in which members flame one another. So let's keep Simtropolis the polite, productive, and great SimCity (not just SC4) community that it is.
