It's not everyday that this inspires such a huge reaction, and (fortunately) it's not everyday that a game that was previously a thoroughly fun, expansive and dare I say it adult experience gets reduced to a glorified Facebook game. It's not everyday that a game that has been as a good as dead for 10 years comes back to life. That's what a lot of 'us' expected, and I think we were quite right too. For balance, i'll put the things I enjoy: curved roads (excellent!), tilt shift works pretty well, modular building is an excellent idea, the ability to share utilities and buildings between cities is BRILLIANT, some parts of the social experiment are quite interesting.

For the developers this is the least of their concern right now as they have stated, as they just try to bring as many people onto the servers as possible. This means the game cannot be played the way it's meant to be and you will soon face a brick wall if you want to advance further.
