Maxis general manager Lucy Bradshaw har berättat att det känns som hon svikit studion efter den katastrofala premiären av Sim City. Detta framgår i en intervju med CVG.
"I feel like I let them down, this was my responsibility," berättar Bradshaw.
"I can't reveal numbers but I can say that we experienced a significant increase in demand in the days leading up to the launch and it caught us off guard. It was our fault that we underestimated our fans and to that end, we should have known better," forsätter Bradshaw och passar på att påminna om det gratis PC-spel som Sim City-spelare ska få.
Men man lär sig av sina misstag, heter det ju. Och följande är en sanning Maxis fått lära sig den hårda vägen:
"Never underestimate the power of your fans. All of the sales data, charts and graphs can't tell you the entire story. Test your game in the real world as much as possible because your players will challenge your game in ways that you never thought possible."
