I'm three years clean of EA-crap. There's so many wonderful games out there made by simply far better companies.

Sim City was going to be my shameful end to my boycott, but unfortunately EA/Maxis made the decision to avoid my most beloved franchise all too easy.

Condolences to everyone who lost their jobs today, I hope passionate and talented staff will find new homes in better studios, and I can't wait to see what y'all can accomplish without the EA shackles on!

Here, here on having sympathy for those out of work today. I look forward to many of you becoming fed up with the corporate policies you have had to survive under, and look to strike out on your own.

I'll be on Kickstarter and Steam, waiting to see (and fund) what new directions you take us all in.

Minor nitpick: the correct phrase is actually "hear, hear." :)
