Thanks for doing this. I'm a Maxis gamer from way way back, I haven't kept up with a lot of the newer SimGames and I'm hoping it hasn't gotten too complex/overwhelming OR too dumbed-down. The best Maxis products had a perfect mix of power and playability.

(1) Would Maxis ever consider re-releasing some of its older games in formats that can be read by today's computers or devices? No tweaks, no new features, no updates to the rules or mathematical models, just, SimCity 2000 (or SimTower) (or whatever) as you knew it?

(2) When you look back at prior SimCity titles, what would you say the version you're making has that those versions were hurt by not having? What did you think the version you're making eliminates from prior titles that we are better off without? What did you like about old versions that you felt it was important to preserve? — Put simply, what lessons have you taken from the prior titles?

(3) When your bosses cut back on your funding, did you ever shout at them as indication of the unacceptability of that decision and/or as harbinger of their potential regret in the future?

Did you choose not to continue acting as you got older, or did you find the transition difficult / impractical, or what?
