Maxis

The Sims 4 Which game is better? The Sims franchise has been around us for quite some time.

Maxis and EA provided the fans with four amazing titles for every new game engine.

From customization to pin world to loading screens and functional cars, we've seen a lot of features in the Sims franchise.

38.

Came out in the year 2000.

It was developed by Maxis, published by EA, and it was, at the time, a PC exclusive.

Shout out to Gia.

The, [laughs] the one game she played before Pokemon.

Um, see, it's reminders of PC games.

Is that, like, Maxis?

No, it's not, no.

Mm.

Um-

'Cause, like, like, I'm trying to think of kind of...

I've seen the Maxis one on, like, SimCity, Sims.

I'm thinking of one that I, I'll have seen on a few games, 'cause that's a, a, a stuck in my head one.

[laughs]

[laughs] It's like the old meme of the guy who's like walking with, "Gee, Papa EA, where are we going?" And he goes to the cliff, and EA shoots him in the head, and it's like Maxis or whoever.

And the, i- it changes every time you see the meme, 'cause EA's always buying, and then finally EA itself ended up in the ditch.

How poetic.

So here's Lunduke City.

So, uh, for those of you who, uh, are not aware, SimCity was open sourced many years back under the name of Micropolis, right? 'Cause Ele- Electronic Arts had purchased Maxis, which made SimCity.

And Electronic Arts want, really, had this as open source, but they did not want to give up their SimCity names and trademarks for obvious reasons, right? They want to make new SimCities, uh, and they don't want anyone else calling it that.

Um, so it was called Micropolis, which was, you know, the old code name for SimCity way back when.
