Lol I had four hospitals maxed out in one city before because I thought it was a smart idea to go pure high wealth. Ended up drowning in recycling which caused a billion sick people.

Game is still broken, we desperately need a patch 3.0 ASAP.
Less focus on DLC, more focus on adding integrity and balance to the simulation.
I haven't played in over a month- after reading all the things left off the patch 2.0 notes I haven't even updated.

Also you need a hospital for high indy cities.
Sadly you do not need any indy in your city.

You can make only Com and Res and even before patch 2.0 you could make only Res.....

Broke simulation is broke.
I don't blame Maxis- I do blame EA.

Maxis is EA and has been for a very long time.

I'm always so smart. I'm so glad I didn't bought this crap. With a little bit of brain everyone could see that coming and shouldn't have wasted money on this.

I'm pretty much gonna buy everything Bioware ever releases on day1. On topic tho: Having not bought the game yet, what's the status? I know the situation is bad, but is the game unplayable? I really love the simcity series.
