Re: Google Chromebook

What do I need to download to get origin to download and then get simcity downloaded?

Hi kamudam77,

As already pointed out, the Google Chromebooks currently do not support Origin. They come with Google Chrome OS, which is a Linux based operating system. However, Origin is currently only available for Windows and the Mac operating system.

The Windows version (for PC) of SimCity has been released, the Mac version will follow on June 11.

Cheers,

Nils

    Google is dropping support for their original very basic Chrome OS in favor of a heavily Android-leaning OS version, I believe, but the main thing is that Simcity will have no further patches.  Maxis was closed down following the release of three unprofitable products in a row, and there is no plan to hand off this franchise to another developer, as was done with Maxis' popular "The Sims" series.

    I wouldn't have bought a Chromebook if I would've known I can't do anything except research information for school and watch Netflix. I wasted my money.

    The next series of Chrome computing devices will be using a more standard Android, for which quite a few games are going to be available, however, I anticipate it will cost more.
