So what's happening? The Simcity launch didn't go well, as expected. It's like they didn't test it under load at all during the beta... or maybe the beta had like.... 10 people, and the people at Maxis were all patting themselves on the back and saying what a good job they did! Didn't learn from the Diablo 3 fiasco apparently.
I'm also not for games which require a always online connection; i think it's been brought up before, but what happens 10 years down the road when the servers are shut down, or 5 if the games unpopular? Customers are stuck with a fancy collectors edition box to display at the end of it now... I'm still playing Xwing which was made over 10 years ago and still enjoying it!
Haha yeah - the move to go online for Sim City isn't a very bright one... was looking forward to it but I don't think it's worth the price of admission ! X-Wing on the other hand - now that's just gold ! dumped the fancy mods and went back to the originals.. so much more satisfying !
