EB's Matt Heywood writes, "EA is no stranger to the free-to-play model, especially on iOS and Android devices where the developer has released many of its franchises for under $1, or free altogether. Many gamers consider EA to be evil at times, and while it has had a few bungled launches and curious policies, the publisher has also created a few gems to waste some time on that are well worth downloading."
The Norwegian producer is taking his talents to the game world as he has partnered with EA to give a sneak peek of his new song “Fiction” feat. Tom Odell in the latest SimCity Buildit trailer.
GamingEverywere: "SimCity BuildIt, EA’s mobile city simulator, has been updated, and you are now able to celebrate world-famous events in your city. The new update brings Rio Carnival, the Lunar New Year, and Valentine’s Weekend celebrations to your city, although only for a limited time each."
TTP: SimCity BuildIt, the latest entry of the popular Sim City series released a while back on the App Store, has received a couple of updates in the past few months adding new features and content to the game. Another update has been made available for the game recently, adding even more content.
A free-to-play SimCity game that's not terrible? EA learning from its mistakes? What strange universe have I stumbled into?
This game did NOT get microtransactions right. From the reviews, people had said how it would take hours of play time for even one pipe. It sounded awful when I read through about 10 pages of reviews. So awful and poorly designed, that it makes me question this entire article and the site itself. The iOS Sim a City game is objectively terrible to anyone who enjoyed SimCity 4, or hell even 5 which had some great features stuck behind tiny cities and some other minor quibbles.
