Advertising has broken the game
SimCity has been wonderful for the last 9 years, but this year 10 has been rough. The game owners have sold out to such an extreme, the very basic game functions have been compromised. The game wants to constantly advertise to me, to finish any task, complete every, I mean, every, factory production, etc. These terrible advertisements work absolutely every time. SimCity cannot make the game opening properly, the switching back and forth from each of the cities I have made, dispatching trains, visiting the global market place, visiting my own club’s cities, participating in the Mayor’s Com- really any game function but the advertising work. The game has, sadly, lost its way. In trying to monetize everything, the game has broken every nice feature it created. Customer Service at EA is not worth contacting. Customer Service has a new script of unhelpful “ restart your game” or try a different device, but really, they want only more purchases and more advertising than game help. For the small fortune I have spent on 4 differnt cities for 9 years, year 10 has made me decide, this is not a game for me any more. I am sad; the game was wonderful, creative, and just enjoyable.
