[QUOTE=Raidyr;40138408]To be honest at that point you are probably splitting hairs. It's a game, can't it just be solar powered? [/QUOTE]
Adds to gameplay in a meaningful way and is something the player has control over and must take control of to make it work in order to reap it's benefits.
You know the whole reason Simcity is a thing.

what are you even on about? in your hugeass post replying to mine you started going off on potential ideas for [I]better[/I] in-game advertising.
the car-station doesn't hinder the game at all, it's powered because it has goddamn solar panels on it, which powers the 'lil smartcars. it doesn't produce pollution or anything because it's just a kiosk where people plug in their batteries for their tiny smartcars.
Part of the charm of Maxis games like the Sims and Sim City is that it is it's own contained world. It has objects in it that resemble real life objects, but they use to give it a silly and clever name to make it work in the "sim" world. When they do this shit it kind of ruins the image.

But think about that for a second, [B]What the fuck does that mean for me the player?[/B]
Fucking nothing, it's a magic box that requires no effort to maintain that just spits out positives from nothing, forget the advertising facade for a second and look at what it actually does in a way that affects you, jack shit.
Why don't we just have the city manage and build itself and just give you a spreadsheet at the end of every day to look at while we're cutting the player out of his one job, Management.

[QUOTE=The golden;40140892]Such a shame that "It's free" is used so frequently as a cop-out for being spoon-fed shit.[/QUOTE]
how the fuck is this spoon-fed shit?
you don't need to download it if you don't want to. it's not like it's some MANDATORY patch that adds it into the goddamn game.

this is actually one of those few situations where "you cant complain b/c its free" wouldn't really work
