Maxis has totally ignored the issue. Look at their Reddit AMA when nearly every question was regarding this, and they didn't even acknowledge it.
Perhaps they were under legal obligation or pressure from EA, but I find it hard to feel sympathy.
- Skoofoo 14y agoThey did an AMA but weren't comfortable talking about that? Talk about foresight.
- aqme28 14y agoIt is incredibly likely they were forbidden by management from answering those questions.
- archangel_one 14y agoKind of defeats the purpose of doing an AMA if you're not allowed to answer any of the interesting questions. I sympathise if that was the case, but people should remember what the second 'A' stands for.

- skore 14y agoAsk Me Anything About Rampart.

- pessimizer 14y agoThe analogous statement to: 'the purpose of the AMA was to promote the game, not satisfy readers' questions, so they didn't answer questions that would reflect negatively on SimCity V.' Would be: 'the purpose of the car was to drive on the road, not to drive into the lake, so they chose not to drive into the lake.'
- lostlogin 14y agoYes, the Ask Me Anything, does not get answers. I noticed this too when former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark was on recently. The AMA wasn't what I'd hoped for at all. Weak. When asked about Kim Dotcom saga the following appears: [–]HelenClarkUNDP[S] 229 points 12 days ago While you can ask anything - don't expect me to dive back into Kiwi political debates! Been there, done that!
