Amazon reinstates SimCity digital copies

Motor City Online.

EA pls bankrupt!!!PLS

Its not hard 2 predict... u sell 1 mil copies well then your servers need to be able to hold 1 mil players. They did not stress test the servers enough. It's irresponsible and immoral to sell more copies of a game if you cant insure the playability of those copies.

You don't see hotels doing this shit with room reservation and when you get to the hotel there are 10 people fighting for the same god damn room. :))

thanks but no thanks...........

The problem is they want always-on Internet connection with games to maintain DRM to stop piracy but they don't invest enough money nbthe servers to run it. They want to run it on a shoestring budget, well you can't. eA need to spend less on advertising and more on servers.

Amazon selling a broken game? EA needs to do a serious beta extension first.

They took r jobs! I mean they took r money!

Just wondering anyone know of a boycotting EA group on facebook, or something along the lines of that?
Be good to put some numbers in EAs face to show them how much they are damaging their company as well, as focus on and promote other companies which make great games and treat well their customers...

At least Amazon cares enough to warn users that there is a well known issue with the game. They have a nice warning at the time of my post stating: Many customers are having issues connecting to the "SimCity" servers. EA is actively working to resolve these issues, but at this time we do not know when the issue will be fixed. Please visit https://help.ea.com/en/simcity/simcity for more information.

I guess they learnt nothing from the Spore launch debacle.

what a mess, this drm has caused.

MS should revised its campaign with EA at Xbox720 announcement event.

Maxis made a great game.

EA raped it. Sames goes for anything Bioware these days

A new phrase in the video game industry has been termed for all future video game release failures "They pulled a Simcity!"

So much for digital-only games being the future. I'm sorry that all those people who purchased the game are having problems but I'm glad it happened to a major publisher like EA because it shows what greed has done to this industry.

The longer they fix their servers, the closer they are of shutting them out... With the reactions of everyone who bought the game, i can't see those server opened more than 2 or 3 years... Especially if they release another simcity soon!

Any single-player game that requires an internet connection or an online account is an automatic no-buy for me.

SimFarm more better.... LOL

This Simcity launch failure has become a part of gaming history. Hope we do not have another video game recession similar to what happened following the release of the Atari 2600 game ET where there was a mass burial of unsold cartridges in a landfill and overall hatred to the gaming industry for a few years.

With EA and their current tactics like online DRM, microtransactions and forcing Origin onto us we may even see a repeat of what happened in the 80s.

Doesn't look like fun.

You all don't see the bigger picture. EA is actually trying to eradicate wars by uniting the world in hate towards them. It's a noble self sacrifice.

Someone post this on Neogaf now,please! http://i.imgur.com/Tw82ymU.jpg
