Maxis
The Sims Studio and Maxis have revealed a brand new expansion pack for their life simulation video game "The Sims 4" and with it comes brand new playable jobs, a new retail business and maybe even aliens.
The Mac version of SimCity is suffering from programming issues, not server problems as before.
The game will be free to those who have the PC version and will feature cross-platform play.
Frank Gibeau claims that Simcity's epic launch meltdown has lead the company to keep the Sims 4 offline to avoid a similar problem.
A new survey may indicate that a offline mode for Simcity may be coming soon.
Despite the myriad of promises to the contrary, it seems that SimCity might be getting an offline mode after all. A Redditor recently posted a screen capture of an EA survey that featured a number of questions regarding potential features.
Darkspore has been pulled from Steam and abandoned by developer Maxis.
There's a new bit of SimCity DLC out today, and it's not a product tie in! Unfortunately, this also means that it's not free.
Maxis has announced a delay to the Mac version of Simcity 5, as well as a release window for update 5.
I'm still not entirely sure why anyone is still playing SimCity. Apparently enough people are though, and a new update is expected to go live very shortly.
SimCity is getting another big update this week, one I'm sure gamers are hopeful will fix more problems than it causes. Update 3.0 is set to patch up a wide range of issues including hotels, air pollution, vehicles, technical issues, and especially ongoing problems with traffic.
Will Wright speaks out about the controversial always online Simcity launch.
EA has announced on their official site that The Sims 4 will be released in 2014.
Here we are, once again reporting on more problems with EA and Maxis's SimCity. In a perfect world, these issues would have been taken care of well before the game's launch. In any logical world, they would have at least been worked out shortly after the game's disastrous first day.
It almost seems like a bad joke by now, but the SimCity fiasco is somehow still ongoing. Yesterday, the first major patch to the game since launch, Update 2.0, was released with Maxis hoping it would clear up many of the ongoing issues.
