I dunno. Maxis is a bit of a mix bag. Had EA not brought them, they might have gone bankrupt.
Yes, SimCity 3000 and 4 was very-very good. Sims 1 and 2 were also under EA, and they weren't a cash grab like 3. Spore was also fun. The last SimCity, in 2012 was shit.
Spore would have been an amazing game if it was like the early demos and not transformed into some weird kid thing.
Spore was fun until you get the last stage then it became tedious.
“Wait….my species has achieved space flight. Why I’m constantly fixing all these issues? I just want to explore and stuff.”
It was fun but if you ever saw the original stuff they demonstrated you can see it’s a very different and simplified kids version of what it was
The game was never like the early demos. If a demo isn't playable by the public then don't assume it was ever actually a playable game in that state. And to be fair, even if it was I'm not really convinced it would've been fun.
Fair, but they've long since been dismantled and still hold a special place in our hearts.
Oh, yeah... Completely agree. Shell of their former self that's now left to make DLC for god knows how long.
