Guy gets back to his old Sim City save only to find that, without a government randomly raising taxes on it's citizens, the city thrived. The moment he tries to raise taxes up from zero, he is assassinated and the game shuts off, refusing to open again.

Is this what libertarians fantasize about playing city builders?

If anything it's mostly cause I played Sim City as a little kid and I played it terribly. They most assuredly would have done better.

(In the OG you could literally be like "surprise, 20% taxes!")

Fair enough, hah

I always wondered why they complained that I put nothing but rails down. I loved trains as a kid, and would have loved a city that was only trains for transportation, lol

You were ahead of your time on environmental action, haha. I bet making a 15 minute city in Sim City is frowned upon, too.
