New Release -- November 21st, 2014

[FrankDieter]

Nice idea but awful name choices for the FC factory and facility in this November 2014 release - if this had originated from the UK, then the Government would have stepped in to force a re-think and get these re-titled to something a little more subtle and sensitive.....

Farms 16 thru 20 have been expanded to 40 x 40 at a cost of $20 billion in funny money or $30 in FarmCash. This is in addition to the four new facilities and the gift packer. Still looking for more.

I totally agree about using the word "mobility". My husband had a stroke and uses at least 3 of those items and he is NOT handicapped!!!!

Just a thought/suggestion

For those of you offended by the term, get over it!

Well lucky you that you are not disabled otherwise you too would find the word handicapped offensive.. just because we are disabled does not mean we are handicapped! and if this offends anyone then please admin just delete my comments.

Have to agree with you Frank. here in the UK it would be thought of definitely NOT PC.
Disability and Mobility are far better names then handicapped... I myself am registered disabled and I don't think of myself as handicapped.

Don't shoot me but even professional golfers have handicaps, I am disabled and don't find the word offensive or handicap. It is just a word or another word that means similar things, really people if that is all you have to worry about in life (a name of a facility in a game) then you are doing really good

[Dutch85]

Thank you Raul! I love ALL of the new things! I find nothing offensive about the new release!

[benbrandon]

ok, as a disable person with CP i would like to say to the Dev team i am not defended by the name choice of the new fac. and its crazy that people are. keep up the good work and to be honest what other names could they have used besides what they did. besides Special needs, Handicap services, ect. face it besides the names that they did use those are the only other names then what i named myself, that they could have used. its just a game people get over it. GOOD JOB AND THANKS FOR THE UPDATES!!!!

Interesting.. you say you are disabled.. so if you don't find the word handicapped offensive why didn't you say you were handicapped?

This is my last post on this matter because I am becoming increasingly cross at some people's attitude.

Yes I know golfers play to a handicap. but really there is no comparison.
