Time to be real with yall, I’m overloaded with work today and there isnt much news. So here’s one.
Publisher EA Takes Down Fan Recreation of SimCity 2000
There’s a fan-made, open source. recreation of the classic city management game called OpenSC2K. It was recently taken down off of GitHub under the report of EA. The notice claims that “the current audio visual output of the repository creates content that infringes on Electronic Arts copyright.” According to creator Nicholas Ochoa, he was never contacted by GitHub or EA before the take down, and would have gladly changed things if asked.
This hard take down is likely because you can now purchase SimCity 2000 on Origin, EA’s game distribution service, for $6.
Sorry for the mediocre news post. I’ll do better in the future. Thanks for reading all the same. Tune in tomorrow for more. Have a great day!
