Just wait until EA gets in on the whole console market and comes out with the SEGA EA Dreamcast (though admittedly they probably couldn't beat SEGA's sales with that).

i would love for EA to make their own console, cause that damage would be so great they would probably fall too hard to come back up ever again.

Seriously though, why not? GOG has it for six bucks, formatted to work with Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8 and Mac OS X (10.6.8 or newer).


Also, great quote from author Scott Lynch on Twitter today: "Comparing the SimCity launch debacle to the Hindenburg is not entirely fair. The Hindenburg had no trouble getting off the ground."

Once again pirates have tasted the pain with this--did I say pirates? Customers, I meant customers. Once again customers have tasted the pain with this amazing DRM!

EA offering a free game to those who own and register their game before the 18th.

No word yet if the game is player choice, player choice among a selection, or EA going "here's a game, take it, this is the free game you're getting." Knowing this is EA we're talking about, it'll probably be the latter.

Knowing them the game'll also have shittastic DRM slapped on.

The latest lollery on Sim Shity is EA basically putting the fault on players for the game being too gosh darn fun and not making room for new players to join!

As said numerous times in this thread, apparently the game IS pretty darn fun.

I'd say less Hindinburg... and more like this.

That said, I'll wait for a bit to get it. In the meantime... I got some classic Simcity to attempt to play.

If you screw with consumers, expect a backlash.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/0...st-onerous-drm

Customers and the public HATE DRM!

http://www.computerandvideogames.com...-enters-day-4/

And they will start to petition the government to avoid DRM.

Here's another one for Jagos' links of grand amusement:

EA asks affiliates to stop promoting SimCity for time being.

Looks like the PR team is operating at peak efficiency


(captcha: rack and ruin HAH!)

Turns out the european servers are buckling under stress too. What deliciousness this is.
