Urban planner's single-player offline paradise!

SimCity™ 4 Deluxe Edition, the fan-favorite iteration in the long line of legendary urban planning simulations with a myriad of design options and factors to tweak and track, creating the ultimate sense of life-like complexity, is available 75% off on GOG.com. That's only $4.99 for the next 72 hours! Includes the Rush Hour expansion pack.

It all started 30 years ago, in 1984. An up-and-coming brilliant game designer by the name of Will Wright created an incredibly believable virtual city that astound the gamers with its level of detail and the amount of little things that were constantly happening in it. The city, though, served only the purpose of an interesting background to an action-focused title, Raid on Bungeling Bay. It would surely feel like a waste to see such a sophisticated simulation only as a "bells-and-whistles" addition. Luckily, 5 years later, Will Wright gave the gaming world the first SimCity game. The one we offer you today, the fourth--and according to many gamers, the best--part of the series is the result of almost a quarter of century worth of a concept's evolution.

In SimCity™ 4 Deluxe Edition you don't just build your city, you breathe life into it. Create a megalopolis by weaving together a tapestry of cities ranging from a bedroom community to a high tech urban center or a vacation destination to a farming village. You can create a region of interconnected cities sharing and competing for resources that are linked by a fully integrated transportation network. Use "god-like" powers to create mountain ranges, carve valleys, and lay rivers to construct the most realistic metropolis imaginable. The new simulation engine offers immediate feedback so you can react to the needs of an expanding metropolis. Now individual buildings and their lots provide you with feedback. Use the My Sim features to personalize your Sim and immediately move him or her into any area and watch them experience life around town and get instant feedback on the city's progress. Each decision has a greater impact and gives you the ability to respond more effectively. The DRM-Free Deluxe Edition offered here, comes complete with the Rush Hour expansion, for an even more in-depth urban experience!

Every game in this great series offers the player hundreds of hours of fun and easily adjustable challenge to create a sense of immersion in a living, breathing metropolis. They all come with their very own special flavor, but most gamers agree that SimCity™ 4 Deluxe Edition is the most delicious dish of them all. Grab it now, on GOG.com, for only $4.99! Remember to hurry, because the 75% release discount offer lasts for 72 hours only, that is until Sunday, June 1, at 9:59AM GMT.

I thought this release would make people happy but it appears people are still willing to complain.
I've not played a Sim City game since Sim City 2000. However, for this price, I don't think I can justify not buying it, great discount.

Matruchus: On that we agree but there are several old games with that price on gog and nobody is complaining.

Impaler26: So how many over 10 years old games cost $20 on GOG?
Computer say its $5

Well it's been out for ages on other digital retailers, the base price is lower at those retailers and it's been on sale hundreds of times for much less.
I think a lot of people would like to see more (temporary) exclusives.

Sure, that's the release discount. :D
But the base price is $20 which is way too high.

Yeah we know. Some people are making to much out of this. For example STALKER is already a bit over 7 years old and the game still retails at 17.99$ on gog.com or don't forget Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 at 19.99$ :). Its just the perception of the buyer what he is prepared to pay. That is all.

blotunga: Hmmm, on steam the base price is only 10 (and 20 USD for US) euros, it seems this is one of the rare cases where steam is cheaper...

Grargar: This is also the case with some Ubisoft games like Assassin's Creed, Heroes of Might and Magic V and Rayman Origins. $19.99 here and €9.99 on Steam.
I think this is due to regional pricing & the lack thereof on GOG. Pricing on Steam:

Assassin's Creed: US price $19.99, UK price £9.99, EU price €9.99, AU price $9.99
HOMM V: US price $9.99, UK price £6.99, EU price €9.99, AU price $19.99
Rayman Origins: US Price $19.99, UK price £9.99, EU price €9.99, AU price $14.95
Simcity 4: US price $19.99, UK price £9.99, EU price €9.99, AU price $19.99

I think any game from one of the evil empires showing up here is good, it helps to give me hope that someday I'll not have to drop games from my intended purchases list because they have things like Origin or UPlay in them.

"Build it....and they will complain."

That being said the automated streets in #4 can, as I said before, be a pain but I'm willing to bet some of our local experts have some tips on that so I'll probably be in here all week pestering people for tips.

It´s... It´s a dream coming true! Kudos to you GOG, a marvelous release!
Good, but I'd like SimCity 3000 more.

I know that. It's exactly the same case for SimCity 4. €9.99 on Europe, but $19.99 on America.

Finally, another release from one of the big publishers already on gog, I was starting to get worried. Well, guess I don't need my physical copy of SimCity 4 anymore.
Nice :)

Now if you could get the original The Sims game i would be happy :D
