Those goalposts shift a lot. You are just guessing at this point despite the evidence being pretty much against any actual simulation happening.

What you call a “bug” everybody else sees as fake.

They literally didn’t implement a simulation, they simulated the simulation.

You’re just making excuses at this point.

No it wasn’t finished but they shipped it as a full priced finished game and deceived a lot of people.

They weren’t honest about the state of the simulation either, the UI updates as if there’s a full simulation running but it’s all magic fairy numbers to appear as if the simulation is functional. They faked it and just hoped nobody noticed.

It’s like releasing a factory game but you don’t have to link anything up to churn out products, instead you can just plop down the final stage factory and call it a day. This isn’t just unfinished, it’s deceitful and unacceptable.

Oh it’s fake.

The shops do not need to be connected to industry nor to residential or outside connections to function. It just fakes all of the commerce information.

The devs might call that a bug to save face, but it doesn’t mean they didn’t deliberately ship it like that.

I am a big fan of city building games and took a chance. Fuck me for wanting a new game to play after work I guess.

No Linux support won’t even be the worse thing about this game.

I sadly bought Cities: Skylines 2, a simulation game like this from the same publisher and they got caught faking the simulation in it.

Only seems fair if you don’t pay your bills.

Traitor.

I finally stopped using it entirely when they started paywalling the answers. I don’t know if you had to actually pay or just sign up to view them but whatever it was went too far for me. Nothing of real value was honesty lost from my existence either.

It’s a good game that was pushed out far too early by suits. There’s a lot of room for basic optimization to be done for one and it should never have been released without it.

I would love defederated identity management in the Fediverse that came with direct and encrypted DM capabilities too. I don’t use DMs but there’s no need for an admin or anyone else to see what’s in them either.

Wake me up when it runs on more than like 5 bloody phones that aren’t made by Google I guess then.

These seem incredibly cheap, like too good to be real cheap.

I know, I appreciate the knowledge.

I just woke up and posted this pre-coffee so please do forgive my ramblings.

• as long as you direct these towards groups/people we also hate.

You’re selling them short. They also developed some crypto shit to shoehorn into it.

Worth noting that persistence set certain expectations now that Matrix does not live up to currently.

Hey you discovered why it never took off in the first place once Google and co got their mitts into it.

Are you aware that some of those terms are crypto too?
