Omega sounds like a nefarious drug.

I like to think that the way he runs his city is the same way EA runs their games. Fucking over citizens to build fusion power plants, because 'its worth it', selling drugs, and researching everything but a better game.

It's kinda funny how the model cities for this SimCity game is the polar opposite of the city planning that we had at least in Sweden the past half century, where city suburbs were built to have industry, housing and markets within the same area, so people could live, work and shop, without having to travel any vast distances, often even within walking distance. I've generally built in cities in SC2000 and SC4 according to similar models, but this SC actively promotes the idea that you should divide industry, shopping and housing into separate cities with relatively long travelling distances inbetween.

This seems like the kind of future in which halfway through the story you discover Omega is processed baby tears.
