Waste of money

Then you have two choices, stop the development, or release it as is and hope there is enough sales to warrant further development. The Eastern sales were strong enough to continue development atleast until the US release. Strong US sales may just get the sim over the hump. The endless "this sim is trash posts" certainly doesn't help sales, and could even help guarantee the early demise of the sim. The sim isn't trash its just unfinished.

The developers certainly want to continue the project as it will support their families for atleast another ten years. It appears the publisher also hopes to continue support as they didn't just do a world wide release on the same day and shut it down.

Agree!

Why not blame Hitler about that? Why in hell he didn't bomb other much more interesting location than England?

Really...
