It basically is, because EA will buy the legal rights to excellent ganes, and then recycles them using a garbage can to sell the game to people who spend money on candy crush.
The sad thing is a new, well made version of Dungeon Keeper would have sold great. But EA is too focused on swindling as many dollars as they can, good games be damned.

I was trying to visualize a pony town simulation earlier, one that places Canterlot in the center and you place pony houses and work centers around it to build various industries.
But after so long enemies such as griffons or changlings will attack your town and how well you prepare your ponies will determine the outcome.
In DK2 you can directly control your creatures, and directly interact with the battle by using spells, such as heal and lightning. I’m not sure how much of DK2 could be related to the idea I was visualizing… Unless of course someone just recreates the originals with ponies….
I would love to see something original, but just not annoying like EA’s current take on it.
We need more dungeon management games period. I think the only modern one I can think of that was any good was A Game of Dwarves, which was more cartoony.
You know what I was thinking, I wonder if anyone has considered making a pony themed parody of Dungeon Keeper?
I’m not exactly sure though how someone would make a game that is naturally dark and brooding pony themed.

My copy of Spore is on my Steam , so I don’t know if that has any effect on it. Another thing that I never really bothered to check for is if they have unofficial community patches like other popular games do.

You could set it to only from friends?
No matter what I tried, I was unable to the really cool critters unless I opened the floodgates of spam first. If I disabled ing, then the critters I did have wouldn’t work, and whichever I was subscribed to would have nothing new coming in.
And even then, it took me way too long to manually delete every individual spam creature. Several pages of spam creatures, all from a few seconds of enabling ing.
@bAv_DB
I also enjoyed Spore, I just ed a bunch of creatures from people who seemed level headed with their designs and then set it to only from friends after that.
It’s s fun casual game for people who enjoy creature sims.
Something I wanna add. A by the name of Thomas Moore has this to say about EA and the reviews it got on its Android Page on this anti-game.
I want you guys to know they are complete liars. It’s impossible to not rate the game a 5 if you use the in-game vote thing. If you choose 1-4 stars, you are taken to a ticket like thing instead of giving an actual rating, if you choose 5, it will go to the rating meter in the app stores.
Yeah Fuck EA and all the undead husks like bioware and the other cocksuckers who stayed on. Turn back! There is no hope ahead.
Titanfall, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Mass Effect: You Want A Satisfying Conclusion to the Trilogy? Well Fuck You! are all doomed, given the aegis of EA hanging over them.
@TheInstranomical
I kinda liked Spore…
Well, at least up until the point where my sporepedia was flooded by shitty five-second creatures every minute the moment that I connected to the internet.
@Ping_chan
What EA did to the Maxis games were also really tragic. Things such as making SimCity 2013 the mess that it is, (albeit they say that they will finally release Offline mode) milking the shit out of The Sims franchise and making it so buggy that third-party mods are needed to correct them, and the disaster that was Spore.
It’s farming young stupid people for money. I own my retail copies of DK 1 and 2.I also bought War for the Overworld on Steam.
So far I’m not impressed by it, it feels like it lacks the fun that DK2 holds for me, but I feel like its worth ing.
I hate EA for what they have done with a few games I enjoyed in my youth, but they legally own the titles… So…
This isn’t even a game. It’s a burglar disguised as a software; what a travesty to the legendary Dungeon Keeper name.
EA deserves some kind of sick respect for this. The kind of respect that ends with them nailed to a burning log and rolled down an acid pit.
Listen to OP and get the first two games by Bullfrog on GOG, everyone. It is more than just worth of your time and money, it’s worth of its place in timeless history as a masterpiece of its generation. Beyond, even.

Hell, I can actually elaborate on my point with my experience on the MLP mobile game. Sure, it’s F2P, but having more than half of the ponies and shops cost money [and an absurd amount for each] and a fair share of them are necessary for progression, I’m rather appalled, really. Not to mention that since MLP is originally a thing marketed to wee lassies, who play this game on their iphones/androids [which they shouldn’t have at that age, stuck-up cunts] and manage to get a hold of their parents’ credit cards, that’s several hundred dollars down the drain because of a goddamn phone game.
I can understand having to pay money in F2P games for things like cosmetics, but having to pay money to progress the game? Fuck you in the ass, game devs!
Don’t worry fledgling underlords, War for the Overworld will bring honor back to this franchise. Sure, it won’t have the Dungeon Keeper name but…well we see how far the name has fallen.
Dungeon Keeper 1 is a classic.
Dungeon Keeper 2 is fun as hell.
War for the Overworld is a interesting project, I’m not sure if it can be as fun as the originals just yet.
This.. New Dungeon phone game, I don’t know… Even without the the money bits.. I just don’t know.
Or ruins overwise great series like Battlefield, Command & Conquer, Mass Effect, Simcity…
