THE GAME IS THE Funniest THING EVER I PLAY

complete money grab
     
by ry7one · July 9, 2026

i remember the first sim city on pc back in the mid 80's, ha. it has been fun to see the evolution of the game. i like playing this version & have downloaded & redownloaded numerous times & restarted my city many times. what i have noticed in this iteration of the game, especially in most current updates, is it gets more & more impossible to play without spending significant $ all the time to get the game to progress. i understand EA needs to make a profit, but it's getting to where you need to make playing this game a real-world budget item to actually enjoy it. sad.
