Sim City (2013)

[TooTall]

Can I get a city near you guys?

I'll specialize in kittens, rare earth minerals, and bowl games.

Ironically my city was going to specialize in yarn, milk, and kitty litter factories.

Amazon has the $20 credit going. I done did it.

Crysis 3 and a few others are doing the $20 thing, too.

I was going to wait to see if they resolved the server issues, but who am I kidding, I'm in.

No mac version for the beta, but there will be a Mac version at launch.

So that's why I haven't gotten an invite...damn.

Apparently pre-orders aren't available until Origin (whatever that is) launches for Mac, which is supposed to be around launch of SimCity.

If you buy the PC version you get the Mac version. At least that is how the other Origin games work that have PC and Mac versions. I have Sims 3 and Spore on my Origin account that I bought for PC, and I can download the Mac version on my Mac (you can download the alpha version of Origin for Mac right now if you want). It's the same way on Steam. I can download any Steam game I own with a Mac version on my Mac even though I bought and downloaded the PC version initially (I play Civ 5 on my MacBook all the time, and it's also installed on my gaming PC).

I was just watching some beta gameplay, and a thought occurred. What is the over/under on pornographic pictures with roads? Who here will make an Ohio State symbol with roads? With this game being completely online and interacting with neighbors along with the ability to be creative with roads, I have a feeling the incentive to be "clever" with the way the city looks from the sky with be pretty big.
