🎮 The Death of Crime City

After all the heists, muggings, looting, and dirty deals down by the docks, Crime City has come to an end. Over the course of 9 years, I robbed hoods, did jobs across dozens of areas, created a syndicate, then ultimately took charge of another. I built a multi-trillion dollar empire and had so many buildings I had to tear some of them down. I’ve even seen the game pass through the hands of three studios. I installed Crime City “HD” on my iPad, almost as a joke, thinking it might be an amusing variation on the old Dope Wars game, going back to the DOS days. I figured I would play for a day, maybe two, then move on. To my surprise, Crime City wasn’t bad. I knew it was funded through the continual purchase of gold to overcome building times, but I liked the idea of playing a game for a limited window of time, setting up a string […]

Put another trillion on the fire – Crime City

None of the buildings come close to putting a dent in my reserves and I’ve donated billions to the syndicate. For those playing along, this puts me at $450M IPH.

Topping out with a Trillion Dollars in Crime City

Well, I figured this day was eventually going to come around. There was sort of no way to avoid it. Over the weekend, I topped out my bank account at over $1 Trillion dollars and have a current IPH of $393.7. Others have done the same thing, but I figured I would showcase this silly little achievement. I also think this might also be a good time to step away from Crime City. While it’s amusing to generate the cash and put up the buildings, the game has sort of run it’s course. We’re in a cycle of doing the same thing over and over again. The new events are just a rehash of old ideas and it’s nothing but Syndicate events. We’re basically going around in circles and I haven’t finished any of the actual Solo goals in more than a year. With that, probably time to put this away. Maybe I’ll keep putting up the LTBs or maybe […]
