    I played SimCity 2000 before I understood how taxes worked. All I knew playing it was that if I lowered them, the game played cheering sounds and booed me if I raised them. I had no money and my cities failed, but the people were happy, ostensibly. I guess I’m saying that SC2000 radicalized me.

      I was raised more on SimCity 3000 but yeah, absolutely no head for finances. Take out every loan, obtain all the money, do whatever you want, and then be shocked when you’re bankrupt because suddenly you had to pay all those loans off.
