    That's right EA has shut down the Maxis studio who produced games that I grew up with. Let's be honest, everybody LOVED Sim City, that is until EA got their paws on it and ruined the last iteration ...

    It's only the only the original Maxis studio in Emeryville that was closed, there are other Maxis studios that will continue the Sims franchise. It's still **** though, it's EA's fault that the latest Sims had such bad launch problems, not Maxis's.

    Man this sucks. Maxis created some classic games and it is hard to see them go. EA really screwed up Maxis. I remember watching a rant video about the buggyness of the Sims 3. Also it is EA's fault that the recent SimCity sucks and failed horribly.

    Had many good times on Simcity 2000, shame that never got ported to mobile. Then again EA would screw it up somehow

    You people really gotta start talking with your money. Over and over people know EA is the problem, yet they'll still buy EA games because there's always at least 1 per year that's decent. But we need more than just "decent", and EA is probably the worst offender of game quality and customer service.

    I think the last EA game I bought was Mirror's Edge, for $5.

    Is EA completely incompetent, or is it just that they simply are such huge *******s they shut everything that doesn't give them huge profits down relentlessly?

    Hilarious. "Hey guys, we're closing you down because your last game didn't do so well", completely ignoring the fact that it was rushed out the door by EA themselves, with a retarded DRM system that was their idea. But sure, Maxis is losing us money guys, we need to close it!

    Very well said. This describes how stupid the people at EA really are.

    Actually, it got ported to Pocket PC / Windows Mobile (by a company named ZIO Interactive); probably the version I played most :). I admit, it's somewhat hard to find sources, but here's an old review :). Takes me back... :')

    (there was also a GBA version, which you could consider mobile)

    Wow, so true. It makes you wonder what kind of idiotic CEO type is running the place.
