With sim price being what it is, still hanging on to the original peg of 200 sim to 1 hive for minting cards, is worth discussing imo.

lt is great to see that sim seems to have stabilized somewhat. This value seems more based on the fun value the games gives than on a monetary based value, but that in itself is really good news and goes to show what Gerber has done over the years.

On the other hand the hive flowing in has been a dry riverbed for some time now and with the tax mechanism the way it is i don't see taxes going down any time soon without some major overhauling. The question can be posed if lower taxes are needed in the first place and for existing players with an above average size city, i would say not.

The topic that interests me more however, is how this affects onboarding and the player experience of new players.
