What happened to Maxis?

[King of Town]

I really think it will be hard for the to ruin the simcity games, unless they continue with this societies nonsense. Which they have already released an expansion pack for and will probably do more to milk it. After buying Spore and being disappointed, only to hear they are going to release expansions to make it better, I'm not buying another non simcity game until it's almost ready to be replaced and the expansions are all bundled.

I think SimCity 4 was the last good thing that came out of Maxis when EA assimilated them. The diversity of what seems to be millions of add-ons greatly extended the game 5 years after it was released. You could imagine my massive disappointment with Societies.

Another thing that drives me nuts is that the SimMania box sets have the same games except maybe two or three. Just look 'em up on Amazon. I'd rather pay more to have them seperate then to have copies only good for expensive coasters. I've already given away CDs of SimIsle and SimCopter 'cos I have so many.

Well, I say Take2 is much better than EA.

EA.. eugh

they killed my favourite developers and raped the franchise they created

Westwood Studios and Command & Conquer series.

Spore was a dissapointment.

QFMFT.

EA will forever burn in the gaming world's iteration of Hell. Money grabbing cads.

I was planning on buying SimCity Societies but then I heard about the nasty reviews. Ugh.

EA Games ate Maxis .

It's now a subsidiary of EA Games.
