SimCity Social is a defunct online social game for the Facebook social network where users create their own city and interact with cities of their Facebook friends.[1] The game was developed by Playfish[2] and published by Electronic Arts. The game was announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2012, during EA's press conference on June 4, 2012,[2] and released on June 25, 2012.[3]
On April 14, 2013, it was announced that the game would be shutting down. On June 14, 2013, SimCity Social and The Sims Social both ceased completely, with no possible access to the game. This was met with very negative response from players of both games.[4]
