I was considering buying this... but always on? Uggh.

I'll skip it and go back to SC3000

SO HOW ABOUT SIMCITY!?

So much wrong with this game thanks to the servers not being able to handle the amount of people playing.

Amazon has pulled the digital version due to overwhelming negative feedback. Queues are still in place four days after its launch.

And EA blames it is because the game is too much fun.

Yep.

I told people that this DRM thing would kill gaming!

Also, EA is apologizing by giving people a free game. Gee, why didn't they do this when they broke my Sims 3?

I've already gotten more entertainment out of this fiasco than I ever would have from buying the game. Even if it did work.

Tropico 4 is definitely a good alternative, albeit a bit watered down version of the older SimCity games. Still, miles better than SimCity 5, and the game with all DLC for $10 means you have a lot to mess with while waiting to play SimCity.

Yeah, buy Tropico 4 instead, seriously.

Unsurprisingly, EA has outright lied about the game mechanics and now is being called out on it.

Dang, the hype was for nothing. But I exspected this was the case anyway.

Anyway, I still have SC2000 special edition with the Urban Renewal kit!

Amen. I can also play SC4. The best part about the anti-piracy protection is that enabling a debug mode hidden within the game will bypass the internet connection part. :specialed:

EDIT: Here's how to enable it.
