Nothing. SimCity 4 is a great game and still worth playing.
Cameron Cook
they though they could sell anything as long as it had "Valve" on it

That it wasn't F2P. Literally killed the game. If it just used the same payment model as HS and SV it would have been a huge hit.
Dylan Lee
If it was free to play and was released the day it was announced things might have been different.
Instead they decided to tease the game and not show anything about it for 2 years.
Valve has lost touch
Xavier Martinez
it was released before steam got popular so most people just own it in a jewel case.

SimCity 3000 > SimCity 4

SimCity 4 is really just that good.
Leo Peterson
It's price instantly deterred people. And there's no point in playing the game, i.e. no progression towards anything meaningful, once you've bought it. People underestimate how important dailies are to maintaing a constant playerbase.

all these companies saw the insane "revenue stream" blizzard was exploiting out of its drones and thought there was something there, but in the end the "computer card game" genre is incredibly niche and all they did was oversaturate an already nonexistent market.

All wrong, here is an actual answer:
>they hired a hack
>they used twitch esluts and people who don't care about card games to collect feedback
Blake Ross
still hasn't been topped
skylines sucks

I really don't understand card games
I play poker IRL when I'm bored and there's people and drinks around
who the fuck in their right mind would pay real money for lootboxes containing virtual MTG cards
also I gave wedgies in high school to MTG nerds, and I'm no chad. MTG players are just that beta and subhuman.

No idea but Sim City 4 is pretty fun.

Skylines is okay and you can see they were honestly trying to do something that EA didn't with SC5, but you just can't capture that comfy asthetic of SC4 twice.
Jack Baker
Even ricochet has more players
Lincoln Lopez
It had a chance if it was free. But they fucked up and lost billions because they were too greedy upfront.
