Let's watch: Maxis Monthly - Episode 4

I think there's a misconception about the Maxis Monthly being some kind of announcement platform, where in reality it's more like a chatty newsletter which sometimes contains announcements. It's a way of interfacing with the community that a lot of game developers simply don't do. If people can't handle themselves maturely, the devs and SimGurus aren't going to want to do it anymore, because why open themselves up to abuse for no reason?
