And then they go and say, we were seeing numbers that we didn't see in beta, and people playing in ways we didn't see in beta, well no **bleep**ing **bleep**, you only gave out 1000 keys a day, and the people that actually got one, could only play for an hour, thats barely enough time to start a city, much less test anything. Congrats EA/Maxis you have made one of the best simulator titles in gaming history, absolute garbage thanks to your utter ignorance and deafness to the voices of your consumers, Great job, you should really be proud. Though i will give it to the art team, their part of the game is great, and its the only thing that actually works
The "1 hour beta access" tests weren't really tests so much as they were a demo to get some free advertisement for the game. There was a closed beta of the whole game as well. The game isn't bad so much as the servers are incapable of handling the load they got. It's no excuse, but at least it's an explanation.
Agreed, the game has great potential. I want my 150k gift back though.
