Sim City (2013)

A friend of mine made an interesting point about this game. He thought it was looking like EA/Maxis was trying to cater to the Farmville crowd, hopefully that doesn't come out to be true. For this game has gone from a preorder to a wait and see what it's like.

Looks like they C&P it from from Diablo 3.

Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

Considering EA's servers are generally really crappy, we'll all be seeing something similar down the road.

In shocking news

DontBuyEA ‏@DontBuyEA RT @outagetracker: RT @Felis0421 8 mins of @simcity closed beta and massive server outage. Nice work putting everything online, @EA

Heads up, Mayors -- we're currently experiencing heavy server load and are looking into it. Look for updates here: http://bit.ly/UsmKqo

Severs are finally up. For how long, who knows...

What a joke EA is

 

[jwinslow]

What's even better than the servers being down all morning, popping up for 15 min, then going down again?

Being unable to click OK on the 'servers are unavailable' pop up, forcing me to log off of my PC to escape.

I'll be buying this... when they're offloading it for $10-20 in 4 months.

Darn it all. If EA has to ruin this one, and it sounds like they are pretty committed to that plan, I hope at least they ruin it so spectacularly that it winds up being sold off to a better company.
