 Re: Sim City just released:
I refuse to install "origin."
It's spyware.

 Re: Sim City just released:

 Re: Sim City just released:
So, I was seconds away from buying this game just now, but I wanted to check Amazon since I'm Prime and would have been fine waiting 2 days if I could save a few bucks. Lo and behold, one of the most overwhelmingly horrible reviews I've seen on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/SimCity-Limited-E ... ewpoints=1Attachment:
simcity.PNG [ 2.37 KiB | Viewed 6097 times ]
Reading some of the reviews, I clearly held off -- and I'm thinking there's no way it's worth the 60 bucks if they're gonna try to hit me up later and often. Anyone have it? Thoughts?

Anyone have it? Thoughts? EA is a VERY, VERY shitty company. They used to be okay, but they have gone all the way down the toilet since Origin. I'm never buying an EA game ever again. Origin is spyware. You can't play single player offline ever either. You don't get what you pay for. They only let you play their games the way they want you to play them. They use Origin to monitor your computer activity. If you have it, uninstall immediately and delete all files associated with it.

 Re: Sim City just released:
I just can't believe that 85+% of the people who left feedback gave it 1 star. That's outrageous. How is that not a huge story?? EDIT: In what must be a big blow for EA and Maxis, Amazon has stopped selling download copies of the just released SimCity"EDIT2: Damn it Reilly

 Re: Sim City just released:

 Re: Sim City just released:
I think you'd probably be better off buying a SNES and the original Sim City.
