The alternate FTP site also seems to be very busy or dead.Īspyr also does not seem to be very forthright with their customers either. You need to use contextual menus and choose "Download link to disk" in order to download the updater. While Aspyr professes to be a Macintosh developer, they do not seem to support a normal download with Safari. Ratings are for the patch and reflect download problems.

I just think the company has grown too big for its shoes. I think Aspyr needs to take a closer look at who is responsible for bringing them to where they are now, the consumer and start living up to what they advertise for their games. Every other game company has support for user groups and are glad to get free PR when they release new software. What happen Aspyr? I run a game sig here in Houston and write articles about entertainment software locally. I remember when Aspyr was run by a handful of people who did give a damn many years ago. In my opinion they no longer give a damn about the consumer anymore. Instead they sell PC & Mac versions seperatly. Look at how Aspyr will not even do cross platorm like Blizzard. As long as they crank out the games, they think the users will continue to follow suit and buy only to find that features promised not implemented as in SIM City 4. In many ways they have cornered the Mac market in games being converted to the Mac. This whole attitude semm to have permiated throgh the entire Aspyr company. Now unless you belong to some mega magazine or organization, you are not good enough to appaise and review their products. Ever since a certain PR manerger came to Aspyr all that changed. They knew the value of users groups to help promote their products throgh game sigs.

When they first came out as company, they did everything to care for the Mac consumer. So, long story short – if you’re a beginner and haven’t unlocked the highest service buildings and at least half the map you should go with one of these designs first.I think Aspyr has forgotten their roots.

No worries, you won’t use your buildings when redesigning your city, you only need to build the roads again and level them up and that’s less effort than you might think now. You will have to re-design it from time to time, that’s completely normal. You won’t have space, you won’t earn the money and won’t unlock the best buildings.Ī city is a never finished thing, in real life and also in SimCity BuildIt. Why starting out with a beginner layout when you need do demolish them later anyway? Good question! The reason is that you won’t be able to reach the end game without a solid beginner layout and when you start placing your beginner buildings you will never be able to make it to the next level.
