EA showed some generosity earlier today, when they announced that the original Sim City will be included in every OLPC (One Laptop Per Child). OLPC is the $100 $200 Linux powered laptop computer aimed at poor third world countries. Sim City was originally released in 1989, and isn’t making any money for EA whatsoever, a good reason to give it away. Perhaps they should chosen newer versions, like the critically acclaimed Sim City 2000, released in 1992.
Nevertheless, a free game is a free game. Or maybe it’s just a publicity stunt for the upcoming Sim City Societies…
