Gamers are impulsive and lack self control.
I love battlefield but honestly I think i'll be going to the other side now.

Glad I sold all my shares of this company a few weeks ago.
It's over, period. EA lost their last ace, and that's the end of their hopes and dreams.
It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for EA. EA has nothing left, nothing they can reveal tomorrow would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest in EA.
The age of EA is done.

I don't think it is quite that bad but I'm not going to be buying anything they make unless it has been a few weeks after launch. How you can screw up Simcity is beyond me. They have a template for success and still botched it. This isn't like Spore where you tried something completely new.
Dungeon Keeper and Populous

Oh no, they have thousands of shareholders buying more
Theme Hospital
Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2
Syndicate
Populous
Just to name a few,once a great studio same thing with westwood. Great talents sucked dry like a sponge to EA.

This joke gets me EVERY time! I'm dying here.
You know, I'm still pissed to this day that EA killed Dungeon Keeper 3...
Take a look at what Spore was supposed to be in Will Wrights original vision. The spore we got was not what he had in mind from the start
This should've been the first post.

I'd be avoiding calls too if a bunch of uninformed redditors kept calling me trying to get their money back because they don't understand the difference between DRM and an online game.
Lol...
saying the same shit on every simcity thread wont make it true.
Hi Octane baby!!!!
That shit was so legit, I remember playing the shareware version for hours on end.
Lots of others that were popular but that was my special game : )
Enjoyed it so much.
Nah it's gamers enjoying the always online experience. Get your spin skills up son!

Stop. Just stop.
The difference being that an online game has functionality that requires internet connectivity in order to function, whereas always-online DRM will just phone home every so often and unceremoneously close your game if it doesn't get a response even though the game would otherwise work perfectly fine.
Guess which one SimCity does.

When an EA rep sticks their hand through the screen and tries to strangle whoever buys their software.
Yes, YES. Everybody gets the karkland.

I know you aren't, but every time I read one of your posts about Sim City, I'm genuinely surprised you aren't paid to do this.

And this is how a Community Manager is born!
He's competing with Arthur Gies.
He puts Gies to shame, actually.
And you wonder why people say you are john riccitello

I've been here for 6 years, I have no fucking clue Arthur Gies is.
As for what I think on this matter, as many of you seem to care apparently, it's clear why they did it, it's pathetic that they did.
It's like you want a dozen people to just say "tag quote" in every negative EA thread you post in.
The same thing they teach all business majors: Fuck over the employees and the customer, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
