Electronic Arts? More like Electronic Farts.
Damn I sunk sooo much time into SimCity 2000, when I was like 10 years old and hadn’t the faintest clue what the fuck was going on.
When the city inevitably went to shit, I just called in the UFOs 😅
RIP all those beautiful studios. (I dont have any memories of Dreamworks Interactive though)
Bullfrog was a lost legend of development. Back when Peter Molyneux wasn’t a pile of lies in a trenchcoat.
I fell for the lies every time. I felt like a teenage girl dating a cheating ex, telling myself he really changed this time, it would be different.
Well maybe we needed a dog control button, Peter!
Maybe I’m still not over it. I’ll see myself out.
After Fable was where I drew the line.
The crazy thing was Fable was actually good! Once you got past Peter’s grandiosity and fabrications, it was a fun, albeit a little shallow, experience.
But Peter had to be out there carrying on about how we could cut down a tree and that same tree would be a stump in the future, or something like that.
Gotta love a well-documented meme. Thanks OP!
