Strictly speaking, it's true, but when multiple games with the same name are released, it's convention to use the year for the newer one. (It's also generally convention to not use the year for the original one when the newer one is a remake of the older).
So SimCity (2013) would be the most expected way to refer to the game.
- tarotuser 4y agoI'm imagining the "Well akshually" guy as the person you're responding to. Sure the name was "SimCity". But this is about the 2013 game, not the 1990s game. Clarity is preferred over 'Wellakshually Correctness'.
- bearmode 4y agoNormal people can infer context. Nobody thinks the original game came out in 2013. Everyone knows it was not a disaster.
- fwlr 4y agoI actually clicked on it thinking it meant the original SimCity which I adored, not realizing that was many decades ago, and expecting it to be some interesting argument that SimCity was somehow so good that it proactively ruined every city sim game that would come after it.
- tarotuser 4y agoSo it's "Wellakshually" and now the rest of us are 'not normal'? How many other hot takes do you have to share?
