    That, and I try to actively avoid games released by EA these days. Whine at me over boycotting 'em, but games with that particular logo have managed to piss me off far more than cheer me up of late, so I'm staying well out of it.
    Oh dude, I hate EA, but I love some SimCity/Maxis.... sometimes you take the good with the bad
    And yes, the game was totally busted for about 5 days - I was fuming mad. I did expect problems on day 1 because we all know DRM blows ass, but when it stretched all week long, that's just unacceptable.
    It works now, at least for me anyway, and the game itself is really good. It's a shame EA sucks because that put a permanent stain on the game.

    Yeah, I named my region Snatcher, and the first city was Junker HQ (all oil and ore processing) and the second city is Neo Kobe (all commercial and residential so far).

    I've been listening alot of B.S about this "Always Online DRM" thing in this game.
    So this means that that even if i want to play a single player game, i would still have to be connected online??

    Yes. That's what's causing all the problems... the servers are crap. They made the game multiplayer only to make you work together with other people to piggyback off cities (and also an excuse for DRM/online only), but the truth is unless you are playing with people you know, you're better off making a private server/region and just managing multiple cities yourself. The problem with relying on other people is that they may not log on for 5 days or something, when you need them to build a specific structure, or you need an ambulance or whatever. In other words, multiplayer is broken

    The stupid Online DRM policy. This game looked awesome,but no option to play this other than with people online really sucks.

    And found something on a news site,

    The game currently has an average Amazon user rating of 1-star, with almost 3,000 negative reviews.
    Good Job EA!! You just raped your own franchise.

    Well, like I said you can play it by yourself, which is what I do, you just have to be able to manage multiple cities - which really isn't that hard anyway.

    The Metacritic rating is 1.6 i think,
    At least Amazon was actually refunding angry people, both physical and digital copies. If you bought direct from EA (like I did), they just say "FUCK YOU, NO REFUND"
    EA is a wretch of a company
