So yeah, seems they didn't learn from the Reddit AMA where they bashed the shit out of EA... This is why EA is the scum of the Earth. Do yourself a favor, and don't buy this game.

Maybe I will delay buying this untill they sort out there servers :/. The EA servers seem to be pretty bad on most of there games.
I was going to buy this due to all the attention it was getting on here; looks like i'll wait.
I was gonna steal it :oQuote:

So, EA thinks the solution to piracy is DRM (always online and no single player) was the best way to go.

Seriously, i know ALOT of pirates, who only pirate the full game to get like, a free unlimited demo, and they go out and buy the game.
What they shoulda done, is still have the same system as the old Sim City games, and have exclusive online features. That way, the pirates can have their offline (free) copies, but wont have the online features like the people who bought it.
Problem Solved.
But no, they probably dont listen to people like me.

Was actually going to get the collector's edition tomorrow. Think I might save it for something else, like Tomb Raider perhaps.
Ofc there's a single player mode. o-oQuote:

BBC News - Amazon suspends sales of SimCity video game
Lol yup; saw that on IGN. Amazon have a message on the SimCity product page reading something similar to "SimCity has been having some issues, blahblah, check the EA link here blahblah for more info". Lol'd.Quote:
