EA Closes Maxis Emeryville Studio (Spore/SimCity)

Reading the comments from the former Maxis employee made me think of Sim Golf, which I would love to be able to buy a digital copy of.

No, The Sims got forked to a team at EARS (EA Redwood Shores, the headquarters) years and years ago. That group was responsible for The Sims 3 and 4.

Seems appropriate to revive this with a slighty different but more happy topic: the elusive SimRefinery has been recovered.

A very short exposition of the series of events that led to the game being finally recovered in the last two weeks.

You can grab the dumped floppy here.

Sometimes the internet works like we had hopes for it when we were young and healthy!

Chevron?!?

Chevron has always been a Bay Area company. And Maxis did not have a business simulation department back in the day.
