* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: The game, during its beta stage, allowed people to submit their names to be used for the randomly-generated immigrants. Well, it was supposed to be their names. Many submissions had to be removed because some wise guys tried to abuse it to sneak in names of celebrities, names of characters in other media, or obscene puns. And in one case, this was particularly unfortunate - one of the submitted names was Anita Sarkeesian, the host of ''WebVideo/FeministFrequency''...[[{{Irony}} and the creator unknowingly used it for a prostitute.]]
