    There is a workaround! You can use the same approach that is suggested for getting Retina resolutions on the MacBook Pros, per this thread. Basically:

    1. Close Sim City.

    2. Open up Origin, go to My Games.

    3. Right-click Sim City, go to Game Properties.

    4. In the window that comes up, enter:

    -r:2560x1440

    4. Press Apply and start the game in all its widescreen glory.

    Now, why isn't this supported out of the box!??

I am just so disappointed with EA.  I have the iMac 27", 3.4GHz Intel Core i7, 32GB Memory, GTX680MX 2GB, 3TB Fusion Drive and yet I can't run SC in full screen in 2560x1440.

What's the problem EA?  

Funny thing is that I have Windows 8 running in bootcamp and running SC in 2560x1440 is not a problem.

This is really frustrating.  I waited and waited and this is the crap EA gave us.
