Sure, sorry was heading to bed when I wrote that last one and forgot all about it. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/life-sim/former-dev-from-sunken-sims-competitor-life-by-you-alleges-the-team-had-the-rug-pulled-from-under-them-despite-outperforming-the-company-s-internal-metrics/ Edit: also, the latest conspiracy is that EA payed off Paradox interactive to pull the project…but that is pretty fringe and far fetched.

Some interesting info coming out from the shuttered dev about this debacle…

Was really hoping this one would help get more competition in the Sims game spot. What EA has done with the sims with the nickle and dime content purchases really turned me off to EA. The game itself was enjoyable.

It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed. They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.

Overspiced!? Umm…no. No it is not.

Eh, who knows. You can buy a news story now so we’ll never really know much of the truth. I know I haven’t been back, and I don’t even care about API stuff, I just disliked the way the CEO was so dismissive of what the reader/user base wanted.

As opposed to figuratively a discussion forum for talking about whatever you want?

You know what’s crazy is I am pretty sure I remember that thread…

Morally wrong? lolwut? Please don’t ask the internet moral advice…
