And the list goes on and on. The gaming world is watching EA. The customer base has voiced its displeasure. When will you listen to them and remove the DRM and make SimCity the game everyone wants rather than what you want it to be. You have proven it doesn’t work already. Why do you insist on making a single player game online dependent when NO ONE wants it to be DRM.

Open your eyes and do what you KNOW you must do. Make SimCity the game that the community you serve wants.

Or maybe you prefer to retain the laurels of being known for making SimCity the worst Rated Product Ever.

You can’t be that stupid. Or can you?
