  • I think the biggest criticism is the pricing, not the existence of the cash shop. It is using the Apple model versus the Walmart model of pricing targeting the whales which is probably more profitable. Like you said, it does not impede gameplay at all though it is always somewhat concerning to see such an emphasis on a cash shop for a product that is still in beta. I will continue to play and see how it goes.



  • Yeah, I saw the frustration on the Internet towards the pets which kind of highlighted the cosmetics shop in general. There does not seem to be enough cheap options. Also it puts me in a weird place. I have no issues throwing money at a game I enjoy but I also do not generally care about cosmetics so I certainly do not like paying10-20USD for an outfit even though I would be happy to pay a 10-15USD subscription.

    In any case, I am still enjoying the game and am looking forward to new content.





  • When you’re leaving a parking spot and backing out all the same logic applies that these bozos use to justify backing in

    I agree that attacking someone for their opinion is just silly but I honestly do not agree with this statement. People, and more importantly pedestrians, know what you are doing when you are backing into a spot and are therefore less likely to walk behind you. This is not the case when backing out of a spot. They might not even know someone is in the vehicle. Add in little kids running out of nowhere. You have a lot better situational awareness while backing in versus backing out since your field of view is not obstructed by up to three sides by cars. I do not think the difference is catastrophic by any means but, to me at least, there is a difference.












  • Would have to deal with the four property owners on each quadrant of the intersection. Any one of them can stall the effort. This goes even worse in cities where buildings are likely close to the intersection. And yes, they should have built everything with roundabouts in mind in the first place. We focused on cars when we built everything but made poor choices which hinder future changes.

    So that along with all the other red tape need to go through like environmental studies and such make each update to a roundabout somewhat daunting.
