Default TS1: Canceled IOS Port
Hello everyone.

A couple of days ago, looking at freeso site (which I found in Sims 2thread) I discoved this:
http://freeso.org/ts1-ios-port-cancelled/

I played a little bit in TS1, my first game was TS2. I think it could be an excellent port of the game. It's a pity that the EA closed this production. Although production OTTD, ORCT does not stop. They are created in order to Transport Tycoon и Rollercoaster tycoon it was possible to play everywhere: on the modern hardware and on the phone. Also these games are officially ported too. I played port of Transport tycoon on Android. It looks like Chris Sawyer Locomotion. I like this game. Port of Roller Coaster Tycoon released in future. Why EA don't want create port of TS1? Maybe because this game is difficult to monetize?

Hello! Good question. In respect to the FreeSO port... clearly EA stopped the project simply because The Sims is their game, and they don't want anyone else messing with it; or maybe they saw it as competence to their Sims Mobile games line. But the reason why they don't just port it to Android and IOs, I frankly can't say. If I recall correctly, when TS2 came out, EA and Maxis kind of forgot about TS1, and let that community die. I certainly don't think it's because TS1 is difficult to monetize; not only they released (and re-realeased) the complete collection, but I still see the game sold at second hand and 'first hand' stores. I don't live in the US, though, so maybe there the situation is different.
