    Simulation speed grinds to a halt as soon as you slapdown a few high density buildings. You basically have to but endless low density sprawl or your city will grind to a halt. I think the Media team of colossal order deserve the toxicity they are receiving.

      Whatever complaint you got about the game, saying that anyone « deserves toxicity » is not the clever take you think it is.

          If you were scammed, go to court. If you need to grasp on any excuse to leash out a shitty online behaviour, fix your life.

            If they are hurt by comments on the internet then they shouldn’t be a social media manager.

              If you can’t behave in a respectful manner, you shouldn’t interact with someone else.

              See? I can do this too.

                I don’t agree with that at all. There’s plenty of people I don’t respect and I will not treat respectfully yet I shouldn’t be barred from interacting with these people. Especially if they are a public figure with the power to influence change.

                The president of the United States repealed row v wade. Should everyone opposed to that refrain from toxicity. I think they are well within their right to kick up a stink, be angry and make their voices heard.
