SimCity 3k in 4k (2025) | Hacker News

Hacker News discussed a SimCity re-release, mixing nostalgia with debate over platform quality and pricing.

Commenters noted that older game reissues on GOG and Steam often ship the PC version instead of superior Mac editions.

One user shared a workaround using a Steam install plus a GOG executable on Arch Linux with Proton.

Others praised SimCity’s lasting playability, while criticizing the author’s refusal to repurchase it and the Windows 11 comment.
