EA, why do you hate commas? 10000000 is really annoying to read.

Agreed! My wife almost purchased the Krusty Oil Rig thinking it was $800,000 instead of 8,000,000. Seeing as how she and I could now afford it either way, that would've been a bitter blow to the bank!

Please add the commas or 8 Mil or 8M. Great suggestions, guys!

Agreed - I did purchase the Oil Rig thinking it was 800,000. Then I wondered where all my money went. Doh!

I consider reading prices to be a bonus mini game. :mrgreen:

I just kinda assumed the oil rig was an aspirational and therefore it was 8 million.

But it would be nice to have commas/spaces/whatever separator they like.

Here's some on the house :D

No commas I want to live in a punctuation free world :roll:

As a programmer (albeit an amateur one) I can tell you that getting commas to display in numbers can be a massive nuisance. Unless the programming language has a subroutine built in to do that, it's a pain. And if you're using the number as an actual number somewhere else in the program it's a DOUBLE pain.

Secondarily, there's the consideration of the allocated space for the numbers. Commas take up space. I've seen some glitches posted in the forum where huge numbers run off the 'page' of the popup.

Or... Some exec may have made the decision not to put commas in. Execs will do that.

But I'm betting it's the second one. Just not enough space.

Yes, that would be nice.
