Horrible game engine... Horrible rendering!

Had I known the following, I woudn’t have wasted my cash:

I can play it but even my recent, top of the line, really powerful MacBook Pro don’t like it at all! The processor gets really hot. After all these years, it’s hard to believe that the makers of this game cannot afford to build an app using the native — and definitely robust — coding tools for Macs (or whatever platform it is intended for). The overall performance is reminiscent of something out of very old Java coding, as if the engineers were stuck 10 years behind. The graphics look fat and the rendering is so compressed that close ups look like badly rendered cartoon from the early 1950’s. Heck, they should have made it in black & white!

One more thing: The Apple App Store for Mac is not doing so hot… No wonder! Unlike its counterpart on mobile, Apple has so far allowed just about anything. Crapy apps like this one abound. I trust that Apple will do the right thing as usual and really put their foot down, forcing developers to produce something worthy of that company. Apple owes it to itself and its consumer base to kick out junk applications like SimCity (Hahem!) Complete Edition!!!
