Feels good not to have a single fucking game on Origin.
Sim City is now down, the maintenance message is amazing

No, really EA, please keep giving me reasons not to support you or your games. Cliffy B was wrong.

Great?
You're making it seem like every EA game has pulled this shit, and that is simply not true.
You don't own it you just have a license to play it.
Well that's pretty effed up.
I didn't buy the game and I'll still complain about EA's business decisions, put me in that 1% of your bullshit statistic I guess.

Because of licensing and big media owns your government.

Can I save this quote for posterity the next time an EA game is announced?
Sim City 4 Deluxe plus mods ranks right up there at (or close to) #1 if you polled 100 Sim City fans.
A lot of people like SimCity 2000. You can get it on GoG for ~$5. It's similar to 3000.
Dammit I should have done that.
I got just about every other game they offered. Even racing games, I don't even play racing games.
I can't believe I didn't see SimCity on there.
You know what happened? I bet it was hidden in there with the Sims and I just skipped over it.
I remember the first week of BF3 being really pissed off.
The whole point of midnight launches and going out the release day to get a game, is to play it the first day. So when you can't it really sucks.
My big problem with 4 is that it seems like it's a pretty big hassle to track down all the mods and the game seems awfully finicky on working on many systems. Last time I tried to get the certain mods I was directed to SimCity forums and I had to make an account to download them and I don't think I ever even got them working right. Is there any easier way yet? Some big bundle that installs everything one time?
Why would you do that?

Personally, I think 2000 and 4 are the best. I don't think too many people will talk about computer versions of 1 or 3000, even though they are great games.
I actually stopped playing 3000 and 4 shortly after buying them many years ago because they would crash after about an hour or two pf play for me, so I stuck with 2000. Lately, I've been playing 4, and even though it does crash occasionally on one of my machines, it is amazing.
I really don't see why anyone would want a complete refund for an outage of one day. I'll have to try to get my Internet bill credited a few times every month when it slows down.
Then again, this online thing always pissed me off and I'm glad to see them feel pain for it. I can only hope the game tanks and some people are out on their ass, so folks like Cliffy can differentiate between short-term and long-term value creation.

When it slows down? Why didn't you say when it disconnects? That would've made sense.
It's true, and I'm one of those, if a game is good I'd probably end up buying it. I might still get Sim City when the price drops significantly. I have a weak will when it comes to games
2 days now and i haven't been able to play a game i paid $60 for.
I would say that warrants a refund. I bought a game i cannot play, it's essentially defective. And if your internet goes out for 1-2 days they do credit you.

Why on Earth would you assume that I was only taking into account always online drm failure into my decision not to buy games on Origin?
My ISP has actually refunded me when my connection was out for 2 days, got $5 per day, which is insane since I pay $30 a month.
They changed the 2 to a 3 in the game. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
YOU CAN'T NOT GET THE REFERENCE, YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!!!!!!
(He pretty much never said anything to me besides "You have too many roads...", did he ever have any input on rail or air transit?)
Because you didn't provide a reason? And you posted your comment in a thread where a very specific problem is being discussed?

So is the always online Xbox been debunked? because i forsee this happening en masse if it does happen.
Looking at the SimCity sub-reddit it seems plenty of people are in fact getting refunds
also his sneakers went from red to yellow.
EA setting the bar high, showing other publishers how sequels are done

Pretty sure that's one of Sim City 2000's advisors. Now that I think about it, I'm almost 100% certain one of them always badgers you about having too many roads.
(Sim City 4 does the same thing. Streets are always endangered.)
Ahhh, I knew that portrait looked familiar! I think it might be from the 1994 version of SimCity published by Interplay. Though it could be SimCity 2000, I just don't remember playing that as much back then. So long ago...
I still have CDs of both games though, lol.

You have too many servers.
You should remove some to save on maintenance.
Gotta say, GAF called this months ago, as soon as Always-On was announced. Good job, EA.
YOU CAN'T HAVE A REFUND! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!
SimCity SNES is a great game and will not and should not be forgotten!

It's not the same game, Geoff! It's not the same content!
EDIT: Beaten like an EA server.
How could anyone possibly know at this point? Any answer is going to be rank speculation (and because its involves EA no doubt wildly negative).

Since some old EA related memes have popped up, I just got this one I read earlier after a search:
LOL how long ago was this?

You know what is sick? It is not limited to EA Selling the old Wii Version as new. They did the exact same thing with the Vita version of Fifa. They sold the previous version of the game, reskinned the characters, and slapped a new year on it. The 2013 Version of Fifa on Vita was the exact same game as the 2012 version of Fifa from other consoles.
It is pretty ridiculous. IGN actually had a nice little write up about it RIGHT HERE

So glad I listened to my second thoughts and cancelled my Amazon preorder on Monday morning. I should have used the CAGROCKS coupon on Bioshock Infinite.

Just read all those posts i must admit this is amazing in a sense and in a bad way ...
Way too many people expected this to happen anyway.
What is the next game to use this method of delivery/support ?
Love the <parameter:string> in the first screenshot in the first page

'You will surely get the karkland' is legendary. It was from the Battlefield 3 launch in late 2011.
