    Yes, SimCity 3000 and 4 was very-very good. Sims 1 and 2 were also under EA, and they weren’t a cash grab like 3. Spore was also fun. The last SimCity, in 2012 was shit.

      Spore would have been an amazing game if it was like the early demos and not transformed into some weird kid thing.

        Spore was fun until you get the last stage then it became tedious.

          It was fun but if you ever saw the original stuff they demonstrated you can see it’s a very different and simplified kids version of what it was
