ZeroXOF Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Read more at Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/ea-shuts-down-simcity-developer-maxis-1689454903 Quote from the article : "I've been hearing rumblings about a shake-up at Maxis for a few days now, but official word first came this afternoon from former Maxis designer Guillaume Pierre, who wrote on Twitter this afternoon that the studio would be shutting down." I think it really sucks that EA has being doing this a lot recently but it's business. I hear Maxis made some of the best 90s games but recently lost their touch. I hope this trend does not continue in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aela Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Oh my god... Maxis... Brings back the nostalgia that was SimCity 2000 on the Game Boy Advance... RIP in peace. (I still have both the game and the GBA in my drawer. ) Edited March 5, 2015 by Aela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon8r351 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I wouldn't really compare EA to something as Galactus. EA is really more... a subtler evil. Like Satan or Comcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siuilarun Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 SimCity and SimCity 2000 were masterpieces. SimCity Societies... not so much. I can't play SC4 because my computer is senile. I hate that it's closing, but maybe that's better than being hollowed out and prostituted on namesake and nostalgia. That's one reason I've defended the position that when Nintendo goes down, it takes it's bigger franchises with it. Sometimes a clean death is the best thing we can do for them.
