Β A tall, bearded man welcomes us to the demonstration ofΒ SimCity, his caffeine energy betrayed by the dark circles under his eyes.

Maxis producer Jason Haber might not have the weight of the world on his shoulders, but he’s juggling several entire cities set over a massive slab of grassland, and delighted in showing them to us one by one. The first is Transportopia, an industrial town under a crown of factory smoke.

This is where people make things.
