EA responds, and then really responds to their award

forgot to say, Maxis still exists and is used, but is mostly a shadow of it's former self. It's basically nothing but a Sims and Sims Expansion cash cow now days. They made the new Sim City, but I'm not sure I'm willing to give them much praise for that.

I just made myself angry by actually looking up all of their aquisitions.

So much angry sad.

I recall most of those, I think. Though Maxis was *always* a Sim-something company, it felt like.
By the way: Sim Copter = best. Just be aware.

SimCopter is awesome. I also like Streets of SimCity. Back in college we would play that over a LAN. If Maxis/EA released a version of Streets of SimCity compatible with SimCity 4, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
ackblom12:
Oh yeah, Maxis was definitely always known for the general Sim franchise, but it wasn't The Sims, which was made about in 2000, so 3 years after EA's purchase, that they started some really nasty practices, such as the ridiculous number of $30 expansions for each entry of The Sims franchise.
