SimCity's first DLC launches today for $10
Are SimCity fans ready to start spending money? EA certainly hopes so, as the company has released the first paid expansion pack for the game.

As expected, the "Amusement Park" expansion allows players to build their own theme parks. Included in the add-on are nine rides, three entry gates, and five concession stands. "Players will have to master the art of fun as they find the right way to bring in tourists Sims, make them happy and keep them in their cities longer," the announcement notes.
Maxis recommends trying the new Edgewater Bay map introduced in update 4.0 last week with the new DLC. The expansion also adds five new missions to play through and "will offer new gameplay for those players who want to master the Tourism city specialization."
So how much will this content cost? A whopping $10 on Origin. It'll be interesting to see how many fans are willing to open up their wallets after being burned by the game's rocky launch.

Kind of useless when the plot sizes are barely big enough to handle the essential stuff needed for each city.

I feel obligated to inform everyone that you can get Rollercoaster Tycoon on GoG for $4 less than this DLC. -
lol.. who would buy this?!! The game is still sooo horribly broken!
-
These people got some real brass ones I'll tell you that
-
I'm buying it. Just because I love amusement parks.
-
So now i have to create a theme park city, cuz thats all you would be able to fit in the plot.

As if trees that honk weren't amusing enough.

The fact that there is a "right" way to build this thing and that they suggest you use it on a certain map reiterates in my mind that this is not an actual SimCity game. -
Don't they need to unbreak the game first, before they start selling more broken stuff?

This is EA.

The game does work better than it did before, but the plot size is way too damn small. I don't enjoy demolishing functional parts of my city so that I can fit in newly unlocked buildings. By the time I have approval for tourist attractions and universities I've pretty much run out of room.
The thing I understand the least is how can there be demand for residential, commercial and industrial? Shouldn't they cancel each other out?
-
Has the problem been Maxis, or EA? If Maxis were say owned by Valve, would we have seen a much better product? How much is EA to be blamed for crap vs. horrible design decisions?
