Maxis: "Performance constraints" factored into city limits, "more variety"
Some have expressed their concerns over city limit sizes witnessed in SimCity so far, and Maxis have confirmed that the largest city space is about that of a medium-sized one in SimCity 4.

Of the Maxis event they tease a "huge event w/ special guests." The Facebook for Game Changer asks what would you do if you had the "power to change the world?"

The house that built SimCity, The Sims and Spore is now cooking up some new kind of "simulation style game" reveals a job post for EA Maxis. The studio is after a Graphics Engineer.
The Sims is handled by a dedicated studio so it shouldn't be touching the franchise. Could we get a glorious return to SimCity though? Could Spore get a full sequel? What of Darkspore?
