OK, one of the big "features" of SimCity 2013 is the whole environmental bent of it, like dealing with natural resources and CO2 emissions. But I'm kind of worried about it. First off, I'm reminded of SimCity Societies, which got that FOX News report a year or so back. But it was far too late to be relevant and was a lot of fearmongering and untruth. Now at the GDC event, they showed the trailer to An Inconvenient Truth (with even more fearmongering and untruth than any FOX News report you can name). I really hope that it and "natural resources" aren't the case. First off, it's the whole "time" feature. By dealing with "real world problems", they're essentially saying you can't simulate cities of the past. Want to make an 1880s factory town, with more than enough natural resources to go around? Sorry, no can do. Secondly, with the whole "resources" thing, it makes it seem like that resources will eventually get used up between all players, like the old Mac game Spaceward Ho! in which you competed for resources and ships. Or "Settlers of Catan". I just hope that the environmental message (no, I'm not saying saving the environment isn't good, it's just not what building a city is about) isn't shoved down our throats, like SimCity Societies. More importantly, if they're developing all these features for "natural resources" and the like, does that mean that they're spending less time making the most awesome city simulator? It would seem that way.
