Sydney Bottocks posted:Fudging population numbers and an "always online" mode that can be disabled by commenting out two lines of code: truly, hallmarks of a well-designed game. No no no, see that's just implementation, so is the entire decoupling of I from the RCI system.

Magnitogorsk. posted:If game design wasn't the hard part then every bedroom coder would be pumping out awesome games, and gaming wouldn't be such a hit or miss industry It's not possible that marketing and distribution are the hard parts? edit: I'd be more sympathetic to this argument if there wasn't a proven design formula that they abandoned because of...reasons.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:I'll fully admit I was expecting a shallow, but still somewhat playable game that would be enhanced by DLC. I figured we would have a solid core from which the game could be built upon, and that over time I would've purchased DLC to add more content over time. Something like an enhanced traffic pack would've been golden for me. I agree, buying half-complete games in the hopes that I can pay at least the price of the game over again to get a complete game, seems like a good thing to encourage. Somewhat-playable is the standard to shoot for.

Here disgruntled employee number seven, have this cool exposure opportunity so you don't flee this sinking ship, and so your friends stop making fun of you for parts of the game you didn't gently caress up
