Didn’t hear back from him, and it’s probably too late now. Perhaps now someone should do a line of the “SINS” games instead of the SIMS, and have games like:

SINcorporated
SINvestigation
SINdictThem
SINterrogation
SINdebtedness
SINsuranceMess
SINglePayer

I think these could be made to be VERY fun by many frustrated folk out there now!
