Digital Chumps: "SimCity is going to go down as a 'what couldve been.' What could this title have been if the developers (and publisher) werent so adamant about the always-online business? How good would it have been if the size limitations werent so stringent, instead, allowing players to build sprawling cities that could be seen from space? How good would this game be if the silly AI issues concerning sim behavior and vehicular pathfinding were much improved? How much would the backlash decrease if players had an option to save their cities on their own computers, instead of relying on a server to keep it safe, and said server isnt accessible, thanks to bumrush of players trying to logon? Perhaps these are all common sense questions (and solutions), but apparently, these aspects were either willfully, or accidentally ignored by Maxis and EA, and the final product, one that has so much potential, is suffering for it."

Forbes - Electronic Arts is offering patient SimCity mayors who have stuck with EA Maxis through thick and thin (not that retailers allow you to return PC games these days) with a selection of free digital games. One of those games is none other than SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition, an offline, DRM-free game that doesnt force players to remain online to play single player. Its a bit ironic that EA is offering this game to fans who have been begging for the game developer to deliver an offline experience for the new SimCity 5 game (EA gave up on numbers with this latest sequel). SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition, which retails for $20 on Steam, comes with SimCity 4 and the Rush Hour expansion. These games date back to 2003, long before DRM was something that publishers resorted to as a must-have for PC games like Blizzard Entertainments Diablo III. So gamers are getting an offline SimCity experience, but missing out on over a decade of technological advances and the new Glassbox engine.

Free stuff? Did someone say free stuff? The irrational consumer wins again! That's right suckers! You wish you paid $60 for a broken mess and got a game that'll probably only cost $20 when... Alright, this is a sham. I'm only pretending NOT to feel hurt about this whole SimCity thing.

If nobody calls, it must mean nobody has any complaints! "EA's SimCity saga has provided no shortage of comedy. Maxis general manager Lucy Bradshaw just yesterday proudly announced that the company is "hearing from thousands of people who are playing across regions, trading, communicating and loving the Always-Connected functionality." Surely EA must be receiving a mountain of complaints as well, unless it somehow found a way to prevent customers from even contacting the support team. Hmmm..."
