It’s ironic considering they were there to replace EA for the city building SimCity series with Cities: Skylines when SimCity 2013 utterly shit the bed.

    I believe SimCity 2013 was the last EA game I played. I even pre-ordered two copies (one for myself and one for my brother).

    They basically committed fraud by knowingly misrepresenting the nature of their product. The early promo videos pitched a complex non-statistical, agent-based simulation. That was of course de facto discarded and the whole game was a dysfunctional attempt at making a "live service" style multiplayer game in genre that's in many way fundamentally a single player experience.

    Paradox feels marginally better than EA these days.
