TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. You had MONTHS to get this right. You impose an Internet connection, which is the WRONG WAY TO GO in the first place, then you can't even properly build the infrastructure to support your STUPID IDEA. Who's to blame? Your Systems Engineers? Is this an infrastructure issue, even though you had plenty of time to prepare for the thousands of users you KNEW would be logging in on DAY ONE? Or is it the developers? Can they not write stable and scalable code? Whoever is to blame, fire them! And while you're at it, fire whoever is to blame for coming up with the idea of requiring an Internet connection WHEN NONE IS NEEDED.
I should be able to create a city in "private mode" or whatever the F you want to call it, ANYTIME I WANT regardless of if I have an active Internet connection. Take away achievements, the ability to play with others, or whatever other stupid perk you can think of-- but don't restrict me from doing the core of what I PAID FOR: BUILDING A CITY. I PAID FOR THIS. WE PAID FOR THIS. GIVE US THIS FUNCTIONALITY NOW.
LISTEN UP, PEOPLE. MAKE EA PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES. LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL AND SPREAD THE WORD. THEY NEED TO FEEL IT OR ELSE THEY WON'T CHANGE A **bleep** THING. THIS IS THEFT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
I agree. Unacceptable that I can't use what I've paid for. Give me something that works or refuse to sell the product to me until it does work, simple as that. Also, give us the option for offline singleplayer! What kinda retarded thing is it to require internet for singleplayer, and then to drop the ball on having your servers ready... More to the point, what if my internet goes out? What better pasttime than Sim City? But that won't be an option then either.
EA is a sham, they have a notorious history for releasing games with glitches, bugs, and problems that are never resolved months or years after release. Type in the name of any EA game into google followed by "problems" and see how many people have experienced the same problems, and see how many of the problems are ever resolved, and then you see how many people have purchased defective goods from EA.
I love Maxxis, but I have to fault them at least a little bit for partnering with EA. EA's reputation for this type of thing is no secret, and yet they partner with them anyway. I absolutely despise knowing that EA gets some of my money because of how much I love Sim City. It's like a super laxative in my favorite food... but ima eat it anyway... *sigh*
