I have said it multiple time but being a game developer is not a good job....damn that sucks.

I am honestly surprised it took them this long to shut er down, simcity was a fuck up of epic proportions and probably cost a shit ton of money. Working in an industry now that sells via Amazon when they start issuing refunds someone ass is getting chewed thats alot of money going back out the door.

Sim City will not recover until they re-release another iteration of the game and these city builder game aren't annual releases more like every 5-10 year releases which is why this FUBAR was even more epic. They couldn't even recoup money on DLC because the exodus was so large on that game.

Edit: I will say though it sure was a pretty game.
