This was clear to anyone that followed the development of the game. It was made clear in many developers interviews and videos about the GlassBox engine. Hell, there are official developer videos that describe the GlassBox engine in detail dating back to early 2012. RPS knew about this behavior before the release of the game, to act surprised now is rather disingenuous and malevolent.

You mean "disingenuous".

Thanks, I'm a bit tired and English isn't my native language. I've edited the post.

Of course they did, they're on the SimCity / EA hate bandwagon for page views. There aren't really any surprises in the game if you had been even cursorily following the development the past few years/months.

They've learned the best way to get impressions is to act shocked and angry to mimic reddit.
