EA Shuts Down ‘SimCity’ and ‘The Sims’ Developer Maxis
SimCity probably changed my life. I grew up with SimCity on DOS and then Super Nintendo, and then SimCity 2000. Then The Sims came out when I was a teenager and blew my mind all over again.<p>As an adult, I consider myself to be very strategic and analytical. I believe I can attribute some of my refinement in this sense to games like SimCity and Civilization. It's sad to see such a storied label gutted.
