Old Buildings No Longer Available

I have done a little homework on this. Comparing the prices of premium stuff from games like Smurf's Village, and Jurrassic Park Builder, the Simpsons premium stuff is more expensive. That being said, The Simpsons is a far superior game. And all of those games make a killing for their respective companies. Smurf's Village made more money for Capcom in it's third year, than Resident Evil 6, did when it came out in the same year. I would not attribute the greediness of EA to any of this. It's just a huge money making game format, because people are willing to drop money on it.

If I owned a game company I would be stupid not to own a license for a cartoon or movie property to make a town builder. It is a ridiculously steady source of income.
