FWIW, the game is called simply SimCity, and the HN title is the same as the title on the article, so, no, not really. HN also tends to put dates on articles that aren't from the current year. If you're totally unfamiliar with the series, it doesn't matter. If you're a little familiar with the series (like me), then you know that the original was released more than a decade ago and pretty much defined the genre, so you know this isn't talking about the original game titled SimCity. If you're familiar with the series, then you know exactly what's being talked about.

- hanoz 4y agoYes really, the title in the article makes little sense in isolation, as even its own subtitle demonstrates.
- dfxm12 4y agoBefore reading the 2nd sentence of the article, you seem to have been mixed up about if this article is about the SimCity that came out in 2013 or the one that came out in 1989. I find it hard to believe that you're aware of the original SimCity game and think that this could be an article from 1999 that could be about it being a disaster for the series (and I'm glad you read further to learn more about the series!). But, even in that case, in isolation, you know that 2013 was a decade ago (and not 1989).
- joemi 4y ago> I find it hard to believe that you're aware of the original SimCity game and think that this could be an article from 1999 that could be about it being a disaster for the series This almost exactly describes what I thought before I started reading the article. (And the whole reason I started reading was because of this confusion.) Except I didn't think "1999" because I don't know what year the original SimCity came out, I just know that it was more than a decade ago.
