Services 2.0 ruined this game. I'm DONE!
It appears that the rumors of deliberate sabotage by this game's designers is proving true. EA as a company, was bought out by a private Saudi/Muslim hedge fund, run by none other than their crown prince. With people likely to lose their jobs over this, it looks like this horrible, game/city ruining "Services 2.0" update is their revenge. And they've closed out their own discussions requesting feedback on this mess. They're even deleting any comments about it on their Twitter/X account to cover it up!
This update has made the game unplayable. My own primary city (out of four) that I've worked on for 8+ years and had 4.7 million "residents" and with NO land left for anymore buildings, was practically destroyed with the new service requirements. Fully upgraded, it was still impossible for the current buildings to provide enough for the new requirements. And no space to build more. And that's precisely what the designers clearly wanted; to leave the game (and the company) in shambles for their new owner. Guess what, it worked! I've already deleted the game app off of my Ipad. I'm done with it and the idiots who screwed it up. And it appears that thousands of other players are doing the same. Stick a fork in Simcity BuildIt. This game is DONE. It was fun while it lasted.
