I still don't see how it is relevant to this game?



CXL Platinum and CXL 2012 and CXL were relevant in the discussion of CXXL because it was the same series by the same publisher (and dev for the latest three) Simcity 2013 was partially related to SC4 and societies because it was the same franchise/studio/dev but with a lot of time between it. And so on and so on.



What I don't get is what the value is of comparing a game by a different dev/publisher to this one. I'd understand pointing to for example Crusader Kings 2 and saying that this game will have a ton of small DLCs, or pointing at mount and blade and say that the game might be buggy, or point at Cities in motion and say the game might be shallow (quoting kotaku here) because then you're talking about games from the same publisher or dev or both, but Simcity has nothing in common with this game except the genre.
