Removed my original response, as it came across as insulting which was *not* the intent, and I apologize for it.
I will leave the important point:
* +/- still zoom in/out, at least they do for me when I play. This is what I stated before in an earlier post. So, this functionality must not have been taken out, it is merely broken in some environments, and needs to be fixed.
Also:
I do not share the opinion that every function from the original game necessarily needs to be present in the new game. At least initially. As an example: the sound controls. I like them as a feature, and I hope they will one day make it back into the game - possibly as a patch, however it's not critical for me. I almost *never* play with sound or music (except for my own) because I mostly play when it's late and don't want to disturb anyone. I certainly don't begrudge anyone else their disappointment that a feature isn't present.
Personally, I'm far more disappointed by the lack of mansion builder update (even though I know it's coming, eventually and completely understand why it's delayed.)
