Peter Cushing was hardly inexperienced
Honestly, for games, it's got even more potential. Imagine if the NPCs in games actually said your characters name, not just "dragonborn" or whatever
Imo the smart thing for VAs to do would be get in front of it. License their voices to models, and charge royalties for said models
Considering skylines is basically the only surviving city sim franchise, not much. But city sims have always had difficulty with performance. Sim city 4 was notorious for how badly it performed in hardware, even to this day
Lucas was excellent at big picture things, but should have been kept out of the details. Particularly dialogue
No. They used to be extremely good
So just set Calibre to convert the books to mobi before sending it to them
Google Messages.

As for paying, it's actually free if you keep checking the beta form, and getting a new key. The keys last a few months
I can guarantee you that if SA were released today it would be riddled with micro transactions and covered in dlc
Sandbox mode basically wouldn't exist
From what I've seen the road building is far better and basically incorporates all the "retired" mods
I'm sad that zoning is still essentially the same as how SimCity did it in 1989, as I really want mixed use, but that's a minor quibble
I much prefer the repository pattern, as used by sequel and Ecto
Your models are essentially just enhanced structs. They hold information about the shape of data. Generally don't hold any validations or logic related to storing the data. You perform changes on the data using changesets, which handle validation and generating the transaction to persist the data
It works extremely well, and I've yet to encounter the funky problems ActiveRecord could give you
