I think the people in this thread talking about cities’ skylines are offbase. Cities skylines filled a vacuum, and simcity was already dead. Arguably, it was already dead before the reboot as their hadn’t been a new entry in a decade.
Oh man, the maxis games were the best. I spent a few hours making a windows 98 VM and trying to get streets of sim city to run. I got close but it kept crashing. That and sim copter were my jam as a kid.
Two words, nuclear meltdown. Seriously though, city building games do still exist, although often the gameplay is part of a wider genre like 4X, kinda like stealth mechanics in action adventure games.

Cities Skylines happened. I still play the SNES version of SimCity every so often though.
Cities Skyline came out.

Maxis was bought by EA. The End.
