Simsville Canceled

Posted by Hemos on from the nada-mas-sims dept.

Ant wrote to us with the story that Maxis announced today that Simsville has been canceled. It was originally supposed to be out in 2002 - but Maxis decided that "it wasn't up to the standards of Maxis" - but did also say the team did a good job, and was being reassigned to other products like the upcoming Sims Online. The original intent was to be a cross between The Sims and SimCity. Having had to play through some real stinkers of games before, I applaud Maxis decision to kill the product, rather then try to release it on an unsuspecting public CT Cry!

    No evidence as yet of terrorism, or any other specific cause, but the BBC story was only posted at 10:49 am and it's 11:12 am at time of this post, so give it a bit of time for the details.


    And petrochemichal factories have been known to go pop from time to time...

    Then again (replying to own post, bad!), this does come at the same time as BBC also reports 3 people shot at Amsterdam Schiphol airport. Which seems like a big coincidence given the circumstances recently.


    As for whether this, or the Toulouse incident, are related to the dawn raids in France in which 8 people were arrested at the request of anti-terrorist magistrates.


    I know, offtopic. But facts are better than panic.
